Too bad it has to be the bad stuff however. Deb I know this is hard to do but in your mind make her invisible, do not see her, do not hear her and plan whatever you want with your children without her. Please take heed these words: She is acting out only for the 'reaction' she get from you...STOP! Once you perfect this invisible routine you won't believe the stress it relieves. It will take an effort not to lash out at first, but don't. If she wants to eat standing on her head, so be it. Don't set a place for her, she's invisible remember. This takes some real thought on your part but you won't believe how great it works....at least try this, you've tried everything else.... [Roll Eyes]
