Ginger,

You give amazing advice here. What would you tell me to do about a dad that yells, blame shifts and guilts me into apologizing?

Or a kid who is being disrespectful, mean and nasty?

I know she's been though a lot - but it's still a good time for boundaries. They do come out of this, I promise! But in the meantime, Don't accept the abuse.

I think you would tell your friend to implement boundaries. Be your own friend. ((ginger))

ps. I KNOW it's hard!! My boys had dirtbag stages too and they came through. They now laugh at how obnoxious they were and brag about their mom who wouldn't take their cr*p. lol Hang in there!!
