[QUOTE="Suz, post: 9362, member: 29"] Aw geez, I'm going to sound like hard-hearted Hannah again [img]:tears:[/img] ... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/919Mad.gif[/img]DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR MELISSA!!!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/919Mad.gif[/img] Sue, go back and reread some of your previous posts. Reread Fran's reply where she reminded you that MELISSA IS NOT A VICTIM HERE!!! I truly don't understand why/how you and husband were able to be so strong with Angela and are such pushovers with Melissa? I know that you've mentioned that it was easier to be strong with Angela because drugs were involved but Melissa's continuing irresponsibility and unacceptable behavior is potentially going to hurt her future, too. You said ," why couldn't she have done this in high school or earlier??." She did! But in those days she acted out with you and husband and her boyfriends. I have been reading about these behaviors for years! She threw things at you and at the walls. She was disorderly. She vandalized things in your home. She screamed and hit and acted like a banshee. The difference is that the same behavior in a public setting brings on tickets and fines and charges and court dates. The world does not tolerate those behaviors without consequences. I know it is hard but Melissa still needs to learn these lessons. It is way past time for her to grow up and learn them. Suz [/QUOTE]
