[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 28196, member: 2423"] I think there's such a thing as being detached from the hysterics versus being detached from the pain your daughter is feeling. This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't roll my eyes or say, "fine," when she says she's going to kill herself. I would empathize ("I'm really sorry the family left you behind. That must have really hurt your feelings"), and then I would not react to the drama of pulling out a butter knife. At a calmer time, I would recommend sitting down with your daughter and exploring appropriate ways she can cope with sadness and disappointment. That's what I'm working on with my kids. [/QUOTE]
