[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 631546, member: 1550"] Well, it's good to be aware. But if you don't want this to be your life, you can't be afraid of her and you have to set boundaries and stick to them. She had no right to snap at you nor to expect you to drive her around to get her dress fixed. And you need to think about yourself...you had plans...I think it would have been good for you to have gone through with them. You don't have to accommodate your daughter. Really, she is bossing you around and changing your life like she owns you and that is not good for you at all...or for her. She is bullying you around. You're her mother and you need to, in my opinion, demand respect or tell her to leave the building. The more comfortable she gts with you driving her around and dropping her off to see friends while you pay an d she doesn't work, the harder it is going to be. IF she gets angry, well, we all went through that. If you feel she may get dangerous, have your cell phone near you to all the police. Most of the time, they just get verbally abusive, cry, sometimes threaten us...but don't touch us.It's never fun, but it's necessary if we want things to change for the better. We just have to remember that it is a good thing for both of us to put responsibility on them and not treat them like they are still in middle school.Were you acting like her at her age? Do you think it would have made your life better if your parents had allowed it? Would they have? Try to ask yourself why you let her boss you around like she is your mean boss? What do you gain by it? What does she? You don't have to answer that here, but it's good to analyze why we do what we do...it can result in a change in mindset. You deserve a good life and you're letting Lacy take that chance from you. Why? Hugs and have a good night. [/QUOTE]
