[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 457379, member: 12721"] Yes, she is 12 and going through a lot of changes- that does explain a lot of what is going on. However, this does not excuse her incessant need of flipping on my Mom and calling her a C-word, B-word and tell her to "suck my imaginary d****"... because she "knows it hurts." THAT in my opinion is not normal for a child of her age. I know my Mom does have much common sense and experience, I trust she can and will handle it one way or the other. Just to be clear- My mom is asking me for advice/help. In turn, I found this site for guidance. I am not giving it because I feel compelled to tell her how to handle the situation. She calls me at her breaking point, her wits end. She needs help. Between her medical issues, the issues with my sister (kids mom), she needs all the support she can get and I am what she's got for support. :) She appreciates the advice I am giving her, which much of it has come from all of you wonderful people. In fact, she has already began implementation of some limits and today was a REALLY good day for the family- at least partially because of some of the advice she has received from myself. Despite the brief spaz moment from my Niece where she broke her phone, it was peaceful and all were in bed by 9. Well, at least in their rooms :) As for the Facebook thing- yeah, it kind of stunk. We thought we were sooooooooooo smart and showed her "who's boss". Oops. :) [/QUOTE]
