[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 691612, member: 20051"] I have a group friend who says the best phrase she uses is, "I'm sorry that you feel that way." You know everything your daughter did was just emotional blackmail. Trying to make you feel sorry for her, or trying to make you feel guilty so that your will break down and give in to her demands. "I'm sorry you feel that way," works so well. It acknowledges feelings without agreeing or disagreeing and feeding into the drama. I think also calling the interaction quits when it goes off the rails helps, too. I'm famous for saying, "It's time for me to go." Then walking out or hanging up or stop responding to texts. by the way. Good for you for blocking that woman. If she is really so concerned about your daughter needing help, she can find it for her. I'm also a little witchy with a "B" I would take a vacation with some of that money. [/QUOTE]
