[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 688968, member: 13542"] This is my daughter too Copa. I think it is who she is. I did what you are doing, I stopped putting up with anything I considered disrespectful, manipulative, lying, blaming or intense. I felt like a damn cop all the time! BUT, eventually she got it. She changed in direct proportion to the demands I put on her to be essentially respectful in my presence. She learned how to curtail her way of being [I]around me[/I].......I'm not sure that is true around anyone else, but I don't care about that, I can't control any of that......it worked for me. I looked at it like I was taking care of myself. I think you're doing a fantastic job Copa. I know you second guess yourself and have so many doubts.....geez, that's just part of all of our lives here......but you keep moving forward, changing, altering your responses, doing what becomes necessary with our kids. It's a tough way of being, it's not easy, but YOU'RE DOING IT! [/QUOTE]
