[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 84041, member: 3626"] As awful as it sounds, the only thing that worked for me was finally telling my daughter she had a choice -- control herself or move out. It truly had gotten to the point where I was afraid to say good morning because I didn't know if it would set her off. Mine can also go on and on about something forever! She'll try to give the details about a movie she's seen and, by the time she's done, I could have watched the movie twice over. And if I interrupted even to simply ask a question, the stomping, yelling would start. After going through this a few times, I talked to her about it when she was in a very good mood. She truly wasn't aware she was going on and on and on and she had no idea how to stop herself. So, we finally came up with a semi-solution. She would give me an opening sentence and I would then ask relevant questions. Fortunately, mine quit being a doorslammer when she was about 9 -- she slammed her door and her bookcase fell over. I put the bookcase up but I refused to put anything back in it. She had to do that herself. I think she's slammed a door maybe three or four times since then. [/QUOTE]
