[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 563883, member: 1233"] It helps to vent here. She sure does have a love of drama and it isn't tapering off. I actually thanked husband for not taking her with us this afternoon when we did a few errands. Why? I was looking for specific things and one stop was a thrift store. Regardless of what I tell her ahead of time, she insists that she 'needs' this and that. Most of the time it isn't an issue but lately ? gimmie gimmie gimmie I had to go up to Walmart this evening because I threw my back out and couldn't wash my hair. I can't life my arms high enough. As we left I saw some papers just strewn across the floor. I took a closer look and FREAKED. These were not just papers or index cards. These are the handwritten recipes that my Grandma gave me when I was 16. I have treasured them all this time, and have babied the box they were in for almost 3 decades. They were on a shelf of stuff for the kids to not touch with-o asking. It isn't a new rule, and Jess especially knew how much they mean to me. But the box is destroyed and several of the recipes have footprints on them. I had to leave with-o saying anything because I was afraid I would start yelling and crying and say things I would regret. It is esp bitter to me because just a couple of weeks ago my daughter opened the box with my Gma's crystal in it and started to use a couple of the goblets. She KNEW she wasn't to open the box. It was NOT easy for her to get to. She then hid them when she realzed I found them, and we are pretty sure that 2 of them were broken and tossed with-o her telling us. She was VERY aware of how upset i was over the crystal, and to do this with the same Gma's recipes??? I just don't get it. I didn't yell or scream when we came home. I simply told the kids that they were going to get the recipes and put them up and if soemthing like this happened again I would NOT restrain myself from saying ugly things and maybe throwing things too. I know she has to rebel, that it is normal. But to use very precious treasures from people I miss every day? That I don't get and won't ever get. I am afraid that I might beat her the next time.
