[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 10697, member: 2211"] Thanks ladies. When we're talking about things, she's angry with me for pointing out what is so painfully obvious to us. Then she thinks about it and seems to 'get it'. And then, after the tears and heartbreak...she seems to try and appease everyone. Me, so that I trust her again. The stupidheads so they aren't mad at her. And herself so that she can rise above it somehow. Last night a boy called our house at 3AM. I was p*ssed off I called his house back in the hopes that a parent would answer - he did instead. I gave him an earful but then I couldn't sleep. He apologized. This morning I called his mom, a woman I've never met before. I think I was right in calling the mom - she should know that her son and his stupid friends were in the basement drinking and drunk-dialing! At 3AM! This morning, H told me he heard me and that he wouldn't have wanted to be on the other end of the phone at that hour - apparently, I really gave it to the kid. His mom was a nice woman, didn't have a clue and seemed very upset about her son calling our house at that hour. Oh well. When I told difficult child that I spoke with his mom, she was upset with me because she apparently spoke to the boys and yelled at them. She may not understand now how important it was that I called the mom, but maybe one day when she has a 17dd, she will understand. I don't really even care if it bugged her, it's my house. I did some role playing a while back with difficult child, perhaps its time again. Thanks marg. Nancy, when difficult child said she was tired of feeling like everything was always f*cked up, that's exactly what I told her. She knows what she has to do, but is she strong enough to do it? I don't know, but I'm not going to be making it easy for her to continue in this vein. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
