[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709202, member: 18958"] Tonia. The situation you describe is common to many of us: torn between protecting our children and being tormented by them when they act in ways that are self-destructive and destructive to others. I agree with pigless: the more specific you are about history, incidents, specific conflicts in the family, the more we may be able to support you. As far as rudeness and meanness goes, you will find it here as anywhere. There is a way to block the posts of people who find it necessary to be negative, snarky or judgmental. You will see at the top of the page your user name (I recommend too that you change yours.) Click your name above and you will find a list of possible options. One will say: [U]people you ignore[/U]. You can then enter the name(s) of people whose posts you choose to ignore. There are people who seem to want to (or need to) hurt others to feel superior or to put their vulnerability in others. Who knows? You are not wrong to set a boundary and to call it out for what it is. I hope you keep posting. You will find that posting helps you by enabling you to look objectively at your own situation, which gives each of us the chance to evaluate it and change what needs to be changed. There is support to be found here. Take care. [/QUOTE]
