[QUOTE="Coping11, post: 675989, member: 19899"] When my daughter was away at her first inpatient program, she would call me and say similar things - she was being abused, she was miserable, she blamed me for "damaging her for life", etc. etc. Needless to say, she was not abused in any way. It is not the same situation, because I knew where she is and that she was in a safe place, but the phone calls were painful. At some point, I asked the staff to limit her to only 2-3 calls a week (the kids there were allowed to call their parents once a day). I just couldn't take it. Every call like that would leave me drained. She knew how to press my buttons. i totally sympathize with your situation, and I suggest you take steps to limit her access to you and your, for your own sanity. Take care. [/QUOTE]
