[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 710443, member: 19832"] Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I understand what it's like to talk to someone who can't 'hear' you and twists everyting. My experience with my own daughter is that anytime we've tried to intervene, it was fruitless because of a number of reasons - even gently telling her our experience is too excruciating to hear. She is so raw all the time. She really only sees things from her perspective. She walks or runs away literally whenever she is confronted. What I have learned is that the person I need to focus on is me - to set clear boundaries, to get support, and to take care of myself. I don't always do it well, but I try. What is painful is that she can't see herself, how many choices she does have, and how she must face the consequences of her choices, so she always turns it around and makes me the mean, unloving mother.... Hopefully, someone in the school system will intervence. My best to you. [/QUOTE]
