As many of you readers know, I have been struggling with my 18 year old daughter. Today started off no different than any other day with her. She is the type you do NOT talk to within the first 30 minutes or you will get a tongue lasing.  Even though she seems to spend 24/7 on her cell phone talking to her boyfriend. I am not allowed to talk to her unless she needs something from me. That is her prospection of what mom is allowed to do to her.

Today was her appointment with her bi-polar doctor. I picked her up from school to take her to this appointment. I asked her doctor if I could have a moment of her time. She gave me the meanest look. I knew then that it wasn’t going to be good when we had a moment to talk. I had the gut feeling that her one sided view of me from my daughter’s conversation with her was biased. After her time with my daughter, she sent my daughter out to get me. As soon as I walked in the door, she stated in a mean voice, “What have YOU got to talk to me about?” I attempted to explain that my daughter’s dad and I agreed that the new medication was not working well for my daughter due to the aggression she was showing us. It was very evident that she didn’t care what I had to say by what she said to me. I was so shocked at her attitude of unprofessional-ism and vulnerability to my daughter’s manipulations. My daughter unfortunately is a pro at it. Some of our other family members have stated that for many years. My daughter is very good at convincing you she is a princess and does no wrong and that everyone in the world is the blame for all of her problems. Even 3 of her longtime best friends have ended their friendships with her in the past month because they finally realized what she is and got tired of her drama.

We all have bent over backwards to help my daughter. After her graduation, she is definitely moving out. She has thrown that in our faces too many times that she is moving out. So now it is final. We can’t take it anymore here in this household. We love her very much, but she is dragging all of down emotionally from all the stress and drama. Time for her to face the real world and what it cost to live in it. I’m too tired to fight this anymore. I will miss her but not all the drama and manipulations. I do love my daughter very much.

Hopefully I can start feeling better when I can keep my diabetes under control from less stress.
