[QUOTE="nvts, post: 318125, member: 3814"] Hey! Everyone is entitled to a bad day. The problem here is that she's not ordinarily like this, so it caught you off guard. Since the two of you are so close, I think I'd got the "can we talk" route. Let her know that while you understand where she was coming from, you will not tolerate disrespect or refusal. Explain that while you don't blame her for not wanting to go back, there are many things in this life that we have to do that we don't want to do! Then tell her how hurt you were that she used the terminology that she used. Let her know that God forbid you had an accident that day, she'd never get over what her last words to you were. Don't take the "I hope you die" as anything more than an attempt at shock value - because that's all it is. In our house they tried using the "eff" word - yeah. Like THAT worked! Keep the lines of communication open on this one. Remember - her role model in these situation has been difficult child. Thank goodness that she's only mouthing off! Feel better! Beth [/QUOTE]
