DID stinks!!! Just wanted to say that.
My T thought giving my angry teen alter her own email might help her vent. So I get into work and get started and find an email to me that is rather nasty of couse without much in the way of content that I can tell.

It is bad enough with internal bombardment of this type, but now to have it in email too! Can I report myself for abuse?

Anyone else try this or have can say what they do? Thanks!

Can you write her back with an understanding e_mail? such as "it sure sounds like you are angry. I am willing to listen and talk about it any time but I feel I can't really listen when bombarded with accusations." or something similar to that. I found that being open and willing to listen to insiders helps. also by setting boundaries, such as not responding to verbal abuse or "acting out" gives them a lesson into boundaries and eventually becomes a tool for them also.
I treat my inside teens like I treated my sons when they were teens. The same rules, boundaries, etc. It helped me.

Hi WP. Have you learned how to talk to her? She can talk to you of course. She can do it if she wants and if it is something you want.
