[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 200063, member: 5941"] Just had to put in my two cent's worth of congratulations...I'll bet you blasted her circuits by not getting drawn into the drama. Detaching is the hardest thing I've ever done with my kids, but mine are at the point where it is the only thing left to do. And they will ramp up the baiting because it is in their nature to try to get you to "change back" into the caring, involved parent that they have come to rely on. I think Marg's suggestions are a hoot too, and there is wisdom in using the energy you are accustomed to applying to your kids for yourself, as in reading a book, getting your hair cut, pamperign yourself in some small way to reinforce that you are still a whole person who is going to have a life after your kids are out the door. I'm just starting to consider that! I'm very proud of you because I know how hard it is to change. I hope the pats on the back strengthen your spine. Your posting has helped to remind me of what i need to do in my own house. [/QUOTE]
