[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 128831, member: 3626"] Since this has all changed in the past year, you might be looking at depression. Depression can show as anger at the world. For day to day things, I would be taking her phone if she can't be civil to people. Hanging up is not being civil. If she has friends over and talks to them rudely, I'd be offering her friends a ride home and flat out telling them they do not have to put up with that treatment. It may be harsh but it may be the only way to get the message across that she can't treat others they way she does. Right now, she sounds like she thinks she can and, to some extent, she can because she does get away with it. I don't envy you. That level of obnoxiousness is not something any of us should have to deal with. My daughter was rude to me but not to others. As she told me, she knew I would put up with it and still love her, others wouldn't. Yours doesn't seem to have that figured out. I, too, believe she needs to have an outside professional look at her and give her a diagnosis. She has a lot of baggage on her little plate and she may need more help than she is getting at the present time. [/QUOTE]
