[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 415910, member: 1991"] If the truck was waiting then everything was planned, including her suddenly blowing a gasket at you and picking a fight. So try not to get hooked into her manipulative dramas, she's probably not half as upset as she pretends to be. She's just making a premature grab for independence, before she's demonstrated that she's capable or has earned it. If/when she begins to curse you out for something (and especially if you suspect it's the beginning of her about to take off again) don't let it escalate. Agree with her. "Yes, I am a lousy parent. Yes, you are neglected." See what happens when you take away any 'excuse' she has to just get out of there because you're fighting - because if you refuse to fight, it makes her running look much more lame and much more calculated. It would be interesting to see how she handles that. Marg [/QUOTE]
