[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674810, member: 19522"] I do not know where these d cs are coming from. Shouldn't one be grateful for a place to live, especially with grandma? Where does the idea come from, that a request for decency and respect should be answered in such a way? Totally pissed off? The nerve! How rude and disrespectful. Daughter is running the show, [I]and she knows it.[/I] I do not think anything can be done at this point, aws, she has made it quite clear that she will do whatever she wants, and "dammit do not touch my stuff." So, everybody backs off, and allows this to continue? I understand your concern and worry, but it seems that your d c will do as she pleases. This is hard to go through after you have conversations like this, like parts of her are coming back. I have been through this too, aws, with my two d cs, it sure is confusing to us moms. I do not know about your girl, but mine, their moods can swing on a dime. They have most folks walking on eggshells around them. We tried so many times to help, thinking that they meant what they said, but then it would all go south. It is tough on anyone. We want the best for our kids, but they have to want it too. I am so sorry for your heartache. This is such very good advice. What else can you do? Our kids are going to go down a path when they become adults, we only have control over ourselves. It is very important to recognize this early on. Take it from a mom who has gone through this for years and years. My eldest has been acting out since 13-she is 36. I have finally come to realize that I cannot help her, fix her, yada, yada. Spent countless hours worrying and fretting. Wasted all of those years on a hamster mill going nowhere. Do something kind for yourself aws. You have value, and you matter. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
