My name is Dr. Nancy J. Eckstein and I am a family communication researcher who studies the phenomenon of parents who have been verbally, physically, and emotionally abused by their adolescent children. I have published numerous articles and have produced a documentary called the “Color of Hope” that explores this topic. I have also experienced this type of abuse as a parent myself. Currently, I am looking for other families who would be willing to share their experiences in order to help parents looking for information and answers to this issue. If you would be willing to be interviewed please contact me. Your names would be kept confidential and anonymous. Please send your contact information to Colorofhope@gmail.com or to nancy.eckstein@gmail.com. Please help me help others…

I am a 39 year mother of 2. I was 16 when I had my daughter she is now 22 and the verbal and emotional abuse I get from her is enough to drive anybody insane. She works and wastes her money on anything and everything. Just this evening we got in to an argument because I told her I wanted $100.00 every two weeks for room and board and she put on her sad puppy face and alligator tears and said that it wasn't fair that she had to pay rent when her 18 year old brother doesn't have to pay it. I told her he doesn't because he has a car and insurance and he doesn't waste his. The tears and the yelling kept coming, I said stop acting like a 2 yr old you are paying rent and that is final before she could say another word I walked away. I am sure she will continue this later but for now i need to get rid of the head ache she caused. I would help if you had some sort of questionnaire I could fill out. I don't so well in interviews because I am always busy.
