[QUOTE="Star*, post: 150790, member: 4964"] Well you wont get an apology from your daughter - because apparently she feels it's okay to call her Mom that - ONE time in my life - I was around 15 and I was angry about something and took it out on my Mom. I was ugly to her, and shoving things, and slamming things and in the midst of it she came in to see if she could help and I called her a b*#(% The next thing I remember was waking up on the other side of the room, on the floor, against the wall with my Father standing there over me who had NEVER EVER laid a hand on me in my life - and he said "I'll tolerate a lot of things out of your girls, but I will NOT tolerate THAT level of disrespect in MY home towards YOUR Mother, my wife." and he meant it. It took only ONE time for me to get that despite ANYTHING else I did - THAT was not going to happen again. My son in true difficult child fashion tried the same thing - and my DF who also had never laid a hand on difficult child put him up against a wall and said the very same thing without ever knowing my Father had done it to me. difficult child to this day - has NEVER called me that in my own home. I'm sorry for Aidan - My x used to do and say any and everything to me in front of my son and I feared he would turn out like his father. The first year or two we were away from him and not using language and violence to solve problems were the worst I think i ever survived. It took about 2 years of not hearing that language in his home to get him to stop. And now today - when he's very angry - it's hard to convince him there are better words to use to express anger - but I can tell you what the B word isn't one of 'em. And I'm not a HUGE language issue person either - just have more respect for yourself and my ears. Know what I mean?? Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
