[QUOTE="Cheerwyn, post: 716047, member: 12395"] Chaotic people seem to have that radar, don't they? I'm so sorry your daughter is ruining what should be a well-deserved vacation. It is really hard, but keep reading up on and practicing detachment. You have made the very wise choice not bail your daughter out of a predicament of her own creation. You are not sending her money, you are not going to allow her to invade the peaceful space of your home, and you are not going to let her verbally abuse you. These are all choices that will lead to some peace of mind in the long run. Please, please, please, think twice before you take calls from her or overseas officials. Let it go to voicemail and have someone else listen to it to see if it's information you really need to know. And if you think she will show up while you are gone, or when you're home, game plan how you will deal with it. Sometimes just knowing what you will do to protect yourself can make you feel better about things. [/QUOTE]
