I had my oldest daughter when I was, bascially, too young to know how to be a parent. I was 19, barely. She was an only child for 13 years. And, wanted to keep it that way. She got extremly angry when I became pregnant with her sister. Apparently, her Dad and I spoiled her rotten.
Later, when her Dad and I divorced....her anger only grew. By the time she was 19, we were seriously at odds. And, I had developed lupus and was really sick.
Everything that happened in my home resulted in a struggle or a fight with her. She simply refused to have any respect for me. I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I told her that she could respect me and go by the rules or move out. She moved out.
Now, when she comes home she tells my 7 yr. old that I ran her off....and that if it weren't for me, she would still be living with us, etc. The little one cries all the time because she misses her sister....and, now...I'm getting the "anger attitude" from her, too! What to do?
