[QUOTE="Lil, post: 701405, member: 17309"] I didn't say anything yesterday when I read this, but "so ready" quoting it brought it back to the front of my mind. What the hell? Really. What exactly is she threatening here? That she'll cut you off? So. What. I know you love your daughter. I know because I love my son even though he keeps screwing up. But she has it very backwards. [I]She thinks you need her more than she needs you.[/I] She thinks that you'll do anything, give anything, put up with anything to keep from losing her. She thinks she can manipulate and abuse you and that you'll take it because otherwise she'll tell you you were a "bad, neglectful mother". How DARE she? I read this yesterday and it stuck in my head, but I was wrapped up in my own problems. I read it today and it TICKED me off! How DARE she threaten you? "Do what I want or else?" How dare she be so high-handed and hateful to her mother! YOUR last chance? McDonna - I know that this is hard. All our kids are SO hard. But try to remember: She thinks she has ALL the power in your relationship. She has it backwards. [/QUOTE]
