[QUOTE="Andy, post: 386397, member: 5096"] Keep that line of communication open. I just had a HUGE blow out with Diva a few weeks ago. She was so angry with me - doesn't want to hear that I do not support something she is doing. She had so casually mentioned it and when I told her it was wrong started turning on that lovely "f" word and saying she would not show up at a family get together. I asked her how about a trip the two of us are planning in Nov? "We will see if you stop being "B"y by then." "Oh, if you don't show up for the family reunion I am pretty sure I will still be "B"y by then. Someone told me that she wants so much to please me that she gets angry when I don't support something she does. She knows my stance on that and I will never give my blessing. My friend told me that she would not have blown up if my opinion wasn't that important to her. She showed up at the family reunion and we have had a few pleasant words between us. You difficult child wants you to say that what she is doing is o.k. She has to come to the realization that if she wants your blessings than she has to do things you believe are best. We all know none of us can make our kids do what is best for them, if we could, they wouldn't be where they are following their own choices. You say you have no choice but you do. You just know the healthiest choice is not always the easiest for your heart but if someday she will pick up on that choice, everyone's heartaches will heal. The other options are choices but you know they are the wrong ones. You have chosen the right option and are sticking to it. [/QUOTE]
