[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry. But, my guess is that this behavior did not emerge from a void. Have you considered therapy? Has she gotten enough emotional support through the divorce? Also, I think it's good to set boundaries. Rudeness is often born of being spoiled and feeling entitled. But, don't take away the college money. Take away her phone, ground her, end spending money. Start small with sanctions for inappropriate behavior. It is late to work on this, but hopefully not too late. I do think you could limit financial contribution to state school cost, but maybe not focus on that at all. It will come across as a withdrawal of support. Hang in there. PS. My kids are always willing to talk to grandparents, sometimes call and always glad to see them. I don't think your expectations are unrealistic. [/quote]
