I hear you; but I think what bothers me is that at her age, she claims that control issues bother her; but she still continues to let her family control her. Mine might give their opinion or advice; but never try to influence my decisions. My decisions are mine. That she allows herself to be controlled by them, is not something I can live with if that is the way it will be. So, to answer your question, no I cannot have her act the way she is as far as letting others make decisions for her. To me, that is immaturity. The very thing she claims to want to be rid of is the very thing she allows to happen.
And this is evidenced by her sudden change in attitude towards me because of a conversation her parents had with her??? You don't go from caring and doing things together and such to cold turkey and meanness unles you allow others to control you. That is okay though...my focus is on my kids making it through this.

P.S. Being civil and getting along, as we were doing doesn't just fall apart because of a conversation her parents had with her. We were getting along fine. So, there is no reason to, at least not still maintain that; but she has not allowed that to happen???
