I'm actually amazed they aren't listed already.

I thought this might be of interest to some of you. I don't want to have a debate about gun control on the chat thread nor am I implying that reasonable gun control measures are the only needed step, just wanted to let those of you who might find this interesting know about it. Despite the name, they are not associated with the socially conservative OMM involved in the Ellen protests.

So....the drama continues...DD is definitely moving. I am trying to be reasonable, and suggested I come with her to see where she will be living. Meet his family. That seems normal...nope. Apparently that is "unreasonable".

This is the craziest thing. I can't believe it. Has she been brainwashed by a cult? What do you do with "adult" children who have gone off the deep end? I literally cannot believe this...

I am not fighting with her. No drama. Just accepted her choice. And wanted to have a mini vacation to come help her get settled in her new place. And...she screamed, "NO". It is beyond belief.

Merry Christmas....

Just cut her off, and see how well she does paying for stuff on her own.

Jasper, any chance one of her siblings might be able to get through to her? What a tough situation.

No. It is a train wreck. I almost, considered just letting the kid move in, rather than her quitting school and moving. Almost. Sanity prevails. Kids now days...what is with them?

Thanks for the support. I guess everyone has to make their own mistakes and learn the hard way. Sadly. I tried hard. Her life has been less than perfect, divorced parents. She has always been very stubborn, and rather than fight with her, has been allowed her own path...but it is always interesting how people say, second hand quarterbacking parenting what you "should do"...she is a brat. I admit it. I just could not handle her constant confrontations.

Relief, now she is going away. Sad, but true. Maybe this will work out for her, she can grow up. No drama or fights. She wants the contention. Accepting this actually has her even more defensive.
