[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659686, member: 1550"] I am doubting this means she is bipolar. At some point in time, almost all adult kids want to seperate from always being with Mom, even if you are nice. It is normal for her to want to put her peers in front of you. However, has she been disrespectful in the past? This is not necessary or normal. And you shouldn't have to take it. Do you maybe do too much for her? Give her money while s he should be working? Does she live with you? Pay rent? Act her age? Speak meanly to you? Act threatening to you? Do you pay for her cell phone, car and insurance, as if she were a younger child. she WILL call you because she'll need a favor or she'll have a fight with this woman. I'd not be available to do what she asks. The more you give and give and give and expect nothing in return, the worse she will treat you and she won't even respect you. I would insist she be respectful when you are alone and in front of others or I'd cut off the favors, the money, whatever you are doing for her. She is 20 and if she didn't have you she'd have to figure it out herself. Let her figure it out herself. You'll be doing her a kindness.She needs to grow up and you need to love yourself enough to insist upon being treated with respect. That if she has an issue with you that you need to discuss it quietly and with respect, not having her make snide, nasty comments about you. If we insist they grow up, they usually have to at least try. We don't help them when they treat us like dirt and we continue to do their bidding. Not good for them or us and WE matter too. [/QUOTE]
