[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here to clarify - I'm not at particular odds with my child.  The majority of the time, we get along.  If I were to bring this poster up the next day - my child would probably be embarassed and laugh and not want to talk about it.  It's forgotten the day after.  She'd say she doesn't know why she draws those things.  I'm posting about this particular instance because it's definitely in that questionable area....especially with the drawing of the exploding mommies and the child sitting, watching and laughing.  Also, she saves her worst for me and my husband.  When we ask her why she says such awful disrespectful things to us and never to anyone else, she says "because i know you guys love me no matter what, isn't that obvious?"[/quote]

I think this is a really important topic to explore with her.  Family should not be defined as the people who you can take out your negative feelings on because they have to love you.  There are a LOT of abusive adult children and spouses who think that way.  We should not hurt family just because we can.  Love doesn’t erase the hurt.  Often it just makes it cut more deeply.  She is old enough to understand you are not just a trampoline for her to bounce feelings off.[/quote]
