So, she has been great. Obviously there have been stripping periods but nothing off any scale.
Recently though, she has really developed an attitude. Thinks she is allowed and entitled to tell me when she thinks I'm crap, in public, tell me off for being embarrassing etc. I have asd and have tried very hard to like myself after years and years of social anxiety and hard work so this is not nice.
It's the entitled attitude I think. Her brother has asd and requires a lot of support and because she has always been fine I've realised that now at sixteen I can't reign anything back.
She has become totally vain 're: family snaps and selfies and photos. If any put snaps on FB unless approved by her. She wants endless attempts at a photo when out, sucking all the joy out of things we do. At the theatre recently she took my phone and deleted a FB post I'd added where she was behind her brother and she didn't approve. I think as I loaded it she said don't but it coincided. So she asked to see it (on my phone) and just deleted my post. I feel this was appalling and overstepping any mark. Treating me like a child. She then refused to acknowledge this, refused to accept she was ruining the day and we came home way with her telling me I was a disgusting person. This was yesterday. We haven't spoken since and she is being terribly nice to dh and making a point of chatting to him. I told her to move from my space this evening and she finally did, saying I was pathetic.
