Wow it’s been a while but I’m here with a tough one. My almost 22 yo is upstairs screaming “everything hurts! I can’t do this anymore! Make it stop!” Crying so hard she’s choking. What caused this. I bought s’mores ingredients for the 4th and I just went to get them out for a cookout I’m planning tomorrow. She had already eaten half of it. When I confronted her she snapped. This has been going on for years…..I am not allowed to be disappointed or upset with her because if I am she screams and swears at me and is now calling me a bully and asking herself why she didn’t “stand up to me”. The last thing I said as she was screaming at me to leave her alone was that I would respect that but that I’m here if she wants to talk. I’m willing to wait until she feels calmer. She told me to F off. I keep a lot of my thoughts and feelings to myself because every time I try and “be real” she accuses me of gaslighting and manipulating. If I keep to the facts she says I’m cold and uncaring. I try to keep my voice calm she screams in my face that I’m screaming. Tbh she is guilty of everything she accuses me of. If I go up it will get worse. If I don’t she accuses me of not caring. It’s a long exhausting road. Just needed to feel like I’m not alone. TIA
