[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 722092, member: 4152"] As a side note....This might help some garner some ideas as it is a technique that has helped a little in our case... Our daughter often responds favorably when I text her (after she says something inappropriate to me) something like the following... "Your response was unkind and inappropriate. I am trying to help you . If you continue to respond to me in this fashion, I will not answer any texts from you for the next (insert time frame but it's usually at least 24 hours). " there is usually a pause and a text Back from her apologizing! One time something like this happened with my husband. She was rude with him either via text or phone. He called her and said do not call or text me until Tuesday at 5 pm or later. She called before the allotted time frame. He did not answer. He immediately texted her and said "since you called before the time I told you, do not call or text me until 5 pm Wednesday...if you do, it will be at least another 24 hours." She did not respond and did not call or text until after 5 pm on the Wednesday. We have put in place a few things that are working. She does not do drugs and this likely helps at least a little.
