Re: Lets have more feedback on advice given
I hope you don't mind me commenting, Mr. Hellums, but as a counselor, based on your story, I would guess she has one, in particular, if not two specific disorders that she should really seek some assistance for. It would help her life immensely, and trust me, yours and your wife's too. And the children's situation too. That does NOT mean she is sick or crazy, just a different way of looking at the world, and you can't possibly relate or understand that, or how she does and that can drive you crazy.
On the other hand, just because she does also does not mean you have to put up with her behavior. i would at the least recommend that you set ground rules, behavioral expectations and boundaries, have ramifications in order and if they are violated you follow-through, and most importantly stick to them and by that she will learn new behavioral skills that will be more appropriate at least to you. Even if she does nothing else on her own.
PM me if you'd like. Hang in there. Mark
