[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 653806, member: 18856"] I am living this manipulation right now with my daughter. Say whatever you have to to get what you want. That's her game. If that means making me pity her or even worry that she might be in severe danger; it's worth it if she gets what she wants which is where we come in as parents. I won't say I'm not still tempted sometimes because my heartstrings are tugged but I think I'm a normal person with genuine feelings and motherly instinct. I have to force myself to stay the course and continue saying no and appearing that I am unaffected by the manipulation. My daughter is only 18 but I know that she has never spent the nite on a sidewalk or a bench because she is resourceful. There's always a friend or someone they stay with. Hang in there Terry, you can do it! [/QUOTE]
