[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 697948, member: 13542"] TAnne, you did well with the phone call with your daughter. I thought I'd mention that when we stop enabling them, they usually up the ante pretty dramatically, the manipulations, the aggression, the anger and the entitlement come barreling out.....it can be ugly. Just remember it is a process, either she will ultimately settle down and accept your new boundaries, or she will not, either way, [U]you[/U] will feel a whole lot better. When I first began recognizing that I was the one allowing this behavior, it was a revelation......and I got my own power back as I began setting strong boundaries around unacceptable behavior. Remember that we are treated the way we allow ourselves to be treated. Don't allow your daughter to treat you with disrespect. You did really well!!! [/QUOTE]
