[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen DD is so mean, so cruel, so unrelenting that I am in tears nearly daily. I don’t know how much more of this I can take. She is a good student and from all reports lovely to others. But she takes everything out on me, says mean things to me, etc. daily. I mean it does not stop.

I am heartbroken over this. And worn out from all the crying. I swear, sometimes it feels like an abusive relationship. I have fantasies of running away.

I just want a day of peace, but every single day something inevitably sets her off and at some point I just can’t take it anymore. She doesn’t always see me cry—many times I make it out of the room. Other times she does.

I’m so tired of it.[/quote]
My first thought is get yourself a therapist to take care of you! You do not want your emotions to be at the mercy of your teen’s moods and words. Make sure you are getting your emotional needs met elsewhere and not depending on your child for validation.

Also work on your boundaries.  Let her know you will not be spoken to with disrespect and all conversations end when that happens. Then walk away when it does. If you pay for your child’s phone take it away if they are nasty to you.  You can get to a better place where your teen is not controlling your emotions but it will likely take working on yourself.
