[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496516, member: 12886"] Thanks Susie, your input is really thoughtful and I have taken it to heart. I will look at that. Interestingly, she has become very much part of her church etc. She is not one of those preachy types but does use her faith to help her improve. she is well aware that she has lots of work to do and that is why it is hard sometimes to come down too hard on her... but I will protect Q better from now on. With all she goes through, she went to school and worked her way off assistance and is raising two kids on her own. I do admire that. She is just very difficult child. There was a period of years we as a family knew if we went anywhere, she would either show up already upset or end up upset during the activity. I finally got snarky and would anticipate it... I checked myself and tried to love her thru it and I have to say that has improved to a great extent. One complicating dynamic is that she is 13 years younger than I. She was MY baby (my mom was a great mom, but I made her my baby....I just loved her so much and she was born the day before my birthday). So I took her everywhere and did everything with her. MY high school and college friends knew we came as a set. So I probably dont have as much objectivity as I should have. That said... DONT mess with my kid. [/QUOTE]
