[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 472406"] Kathy Keeping your emotional distance right now sounds like exactly what you need to do. Your daughter is doing what she can to manipulate you into getting what she wants....the flip flop from being nice to being nasty is part of that dance. The emotinal distance you are feeling is good emotional preservation because you do not want to be sucked into her dance, and your being sucked in is not good for her either. I know this pattern all too well...you are doing great at not getting pulled in. She needs to find her way which means she needs you to step back. If you havent already find an alanon group, hopefully one for parents. TL [/QUOTE]
