Here is something I found on dealing with drama queens. It sounded like good advice.

1 Learn to recognize if the person is a drama king or queen (dk/dq). The person is usually very social, manipulative, self-centered, selfish, and always wants to be the center of attention. Prepare in advance to defend yourself against anything.

2 Realize that it is not you who has the problem. Dk/Dq's are prone to place blame on others rather than face their own flaws. It is not your job to fix all their problems. Do not become their enabler! This is bad for you and for them because they learn to depend on you way too much and you will begin to feel like a slave.

3 Know that they will try anything to get what they want. Their philosophy is: There is no bad attention. If the proper way of getting what they want does not work, they will try anything, including starting a fight with you.

4 Learn that tantrums are a dk/dq's best friend. They will throw a fit whenever something does not go their way. Be prepared to deal with tantrums. The best thing you can do is ignore them. Walk away. Do not let them pull you back into the situation. If they attack you verbally, just say, "Whatever". Drama kings and drama queens absolutely hate to be ignored.

5 Note that you have the right to tell them that you do not like their behavior. Let them know in no uncertain terms that their dramatic behavior will NOT be tolerated, or you will terminate the relationship if it continues.
