[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 681829, member: 19905"] My daughter does that too. Many times she has done that. I, too, am a stubborn woman. I let her do it to me many times and I feel that in doing so, in her mind at least, that made it acceptable to treat me that way because I didn't call her on it. I still don't bc it would only lead to an apology grudgingly given and not meant, or it would become a flurry of accusations and a tirade. But she went too far and now I am done. Instead, I keep my distance. I don't let her get too close so that it won't hurt so much when she pushes me away. I put up a wall to keep my heart safe, my sanity intact, my dignity undamaged. She can see me over the wall, but she cannot cross it. Because I, too, am a stubborn woman. I didn't raise my daughter to be this way, either. [/QUOTE]
