[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 681216, member: 19905"] You WILL live through this. My daughter does the same thing. She will be horrible, explode, rant and curse, storm out and spread vicious lies and hurtful things about me. Then she will breeze in later like nothing happened at all without explanation, apology or acknowledgement of her previous behavior. Bc of her diagnosis, I truly believe her behavior seems "normal" to her - she treats everyone this way, to some degree or another. I just get a heavy dose as her mom. I have had to do the same thing - tell hubs "just don't tell me" - bc once I know, I can't let it go and my mind will twist and turn and literally make me sick. It helps me to know that the majority of what she says and does is dramatized for attention/reaction and not to give her the attention/enabling she seeks. And the less I react, the less she tries. Truly. At first, though, she went to GREAT lengths to grab my attention and squeeze my heart when she felt me detaching. They don't know how to react when you don't so they up the ante for awhile. It is like a hurricane for awhile, but you will survive. And while I have become accustomed to her rain and expect the occasional thunderstorm, for now the hurricane has passed. It will for you, too.
