[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 370702, member: 9175"] Yes, Bean, you are right. This has always been a problem. She's a drama magnet. I know she has to find her way out on her own. And, Andy, the control thing occured to me, too. I talked with her about that very idea when she got home. I asked her to think about what would happen if she cut off contact with him. Would he continue doing crazy things? Probably. Would she have peace? More likely than now. If she kept talking to him, would he continue with the crazy behavior? Probably. Would she have peace? No. She actually seemed to be thinking about it. Mama, When she texted that he "slit" his wrists, I panicked. Since I talked to her on the phone and since she got home, I see this more as attention-seeking cutting. Most cutters do it in secret and try to hide it. He seems to be cutting for the sake of attention alone. I am very glad she told me (and ever more glad that she seemed to listen), but I do wish she'd find another passtime, like video games or something! You're right that I shouldn't worry about the kid. I have enough with difficult child. Do any of you get antsy when there is even a small amount of difficult child activity (in this case, drama) after a period of peace? Ugh. [/QUOTE]
