[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 519169, member: 4040"] Hugs...been there done that. Is there any way you could "go on strike?" Since you're supposed to stay out of their lives and all, that means no cooking, no laundry, nothing to help them in any way because you're doing as they asked? Had to do that with Miss KT and also with Son #1, who got angry about something and told Hubby to "forget me, forget my birthday, forget you even have a son," and then was surprised and even more ticked when Hubby did exactly that. His birthday was about two days after his fit, and he was NOT pleased when Hubby reminded him of his statements. Like that health insurance commercial says...sometimes you just gotta pull the plug. I do understand how difficult it is, it goes against your mom instincts, but it was very effective with Miss KT, who quickly learned that not behaving in a civilized fashion meant she had to figure things out herself, and she didn't want to do that. I believe strongly in logical consequences, like losing the bedroom door after she tore it off the hinges and threw it at me. Being rude to Mama meant she was stuck making her own mac n cheese.
