[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 328574, member: 3907"] Shamrock, I agree that you need to stand firm. You've taken the first step in establishing your boundaries with your daughter. She's escalating her behaviour in the hope that if she makes you miserable enough you'll cave in and do what she wants you to do. If you back down now, she won't take you seriously the next time you try to draw the line, and it will be even harder. Check our archives for threads on detachment. There is some really great information about not getting drawn in to our difficult children's crises, while still loving them. I also read a book years ago called How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People, by Bernstein. It gave me concrete strategies about what to say and not say, do and not do, when dealing with my difficult child's rages and manipulation. You might find some helpful information in it too. Welcome to our little corner. You've found a good place here. Trinity [/QUOTE]
