Disrespectful adult daughter
She is 36, married, 4 children of her own. She has no problem calling me and yelling at me for whatever is bothering her. She knows I will not tolerate her raising her voice to me, and I warn her to speak to me in a respectful tone, but she tells me she will speak to me however she wants.. at which point I tell her she will NOT, and I disconnect the call. The most recent issue was me not telling her that her brother was doing drugs (he's 29). I did not tell her because her 21 month old old (my grandson) was recently diagnosed with leukemia and in the hospital. When I found out about my son, I decided not to increase her stress any more than it was already. My son then overdosed and ended up in the hospital, and when she found out I knew he was doing drugs and didn't tell her, she called me up in work and blindsided me. She asked me why I didn't tell her and I told her because of Mason being so ill, and not wanting to stress her further. She started yelling at me and then I told her not to talk to me that way, she said she would talk to me any way she wanted, I said no you will NOT, and I hung up. This is not the first time I have hung up on her, after warning her to speak to me respectfully. I am really hearbroken that she disrespects me so much, and I am 'done' taking it. I have not spoken with her for about 6 days, and have no desire to do so. Anyone else deal with something like this, and how did you handle it? I am not a punching bag, and have feelings. I treat everyone with consideration and respect, and compassion. I do not get the same back. Thank you in advance for any guidance or experience you can relay to me.
