[QUOTE="ksm, post: 526106, member: 12511"] I do realize and expect some drama... and I expect middle school is the worst time ever. But her reactions are so dramatic and over the top. Example, she can hurt her ankle on the trampoline and can be displaying so much pain that I start thinking maybe I should take her to the ER. I mean, there are tears, moaning, groaning, and gasping of breath. Then 15 minutes later she is back jumping on the trampoline again. If it was a real sprain, she would not want to go jump on it. Other times, she demands to go to the doctor so she can get a note so she can use the elevator at school... but runs and plays just fine after school. She will repeatedly tell me she is caught up on homework, then when I get an update and she isn't, she makes it out that I am the problem... I expect SO much from her, and she doesn't want to disappoint me, so she tells me she is doing fine when she isn't, just to "protect" me. When she is nice - it doesn't even feel real... like an act she is putting on. Just tired of all this. Nothing is ever her fault... Everyone hates her... Nothing ever goes right... ya da ya da ya da. The sad thing is - her bio mom is just like this... but she is over 40! I am scared that she will never learn life's lessons, just like her mom. Biomom's parents don't even want a relationship with biomom because of all the drama over the last 25 years. They have pretty much written her out of their lives. KSM [/QUOTE]
