[QUOTE="witzend, post: 314579, member: 99"] She's only 16, she [I]may[/I] one day feel remorse. Or perhaps regret. I would be surprised if she showed or felt either emotion now. She's only 16 years old. I think that 16 year olds tend to be selfish by nature. I'm not saying that I think you should hold your breath, it's miserable living with this type of child. But they do eventually move out of your house, and you won't have to live with their antics every day. And as that happens, you will be less and less angry with her. And she will have less and less opportunity to treat you badly and/or blame you for her shortcomings. One way or another, they all grow up. And at some point in their lives, people figure out that they're [I]way[/I] too old to be giving their parents grief and get any sympathy out of it. I know it's cold comfort for now, but even if you can't look forward to her changing, you can look forward to it not being the dominating feature of your life. [/QUOTE]
