[QUOTE="newstart, post: 737857, member: 22416"] Hi Michelle809, Welcome. I read your post and felt the desperation that you are carrying. Your post reminded me of my life many times with my daughter. If you have the strength and you can do it, this is what I did and it was the best thing I ever did to get things moving in the right direction. I COMPLETELY disconnected from my daughter for 3 months. I did not answer her calls, did not let her into my home, I took my voice off of my answering machine to let her know what life is like without me in it. It was the hardest thing I ever did but it did let her know I will not put up with her BS. I did see some positive changes after 3 months. My daughter is now 36 and life with her is far from being easy but the major belligerence from her is much better. I had to make the changes to make her change because she would have stayed the same and NO way could I tolerate that level of abuse. The lies, stealing, disrespect and other evil stuff that she put me through was not going to be a part of my life. I pray you have the strength to just blow him off no matter the threats. I know when they hang the 'suicide' over your head it is very hard but if they really plan to kill themself there is nothing we can do, it is the worst form of mental abuse. I wish you all the strength in the world to do whatever it takes to not keep on taking the abuse. [/QUOTE]
