[quote=Anonymous]To the person annoyed about mentioning she is an adult, it is an important point. OP is treating an adult like a difficult pre-teen. You do not secretly record a grown up and play it back to show her she is problematic. That is disturbing. She has a good relationship with her boyfriend. She wishes she had more friends, but probably should not have confided in mom because mom is not a support. I assume she has a job? If so, let her be. Get help for YOU. You have to have boundaries that work for all and stop trying to control her and make her into the daughter you want her to be. You cannot change her, but you absolutely need to change how you process this and interact with her. Otherwise, I suspect you could end up pushing this toward estrangement, especially with this whole mentality of how everyone is on your side and she's the bad one who doesn't fall into line.[/quote]
