Hi Maniac, thank you for your post.

I agree, option one is not the way to solve our problems.

Option two I believe will not even be feasible since everyone else “abandoned her”. She would become more of a stalker than anything.

Option three I have tried doing over the past few years, the “she only hurts me because she loves me” mindset. However, with that always going into my mind, sometimes I forget and do believe I’m fat, or ugly or a slut for what happened.

Recently she has certainly been playing the guilt card and threatening us with suicide. However, a few years ago she was put into a coma from a massive over dose. Before that was drug overdose. Those times I believe were intentional but other than that I know for certain she wants that attention. Lately we’ve all been standing up for ourselves just because we’ve tried the turn our backs when she was rude or innapropriate and she will act sane again and quickly snap back to psychotic.

I thought I was supposed to be the crazy, wild, irresponsible and disrespectful teen in this situation? Hahah
