Exasperated w/ 23yo DD, is there anything that can be done???

She got the drama queen gene from my mother. Woe is me. You LEFT me behind at the museum (this was 13 years ago, she wandered off and we were one exhibit ahead, no biggie). No one ever tells me anything. I'm just like Cinderella, might as well sleep in the ashes for all anyone cares. I don't have an opinion, it's not like anyone ever listens to me anyway.

I'm really at a loss. We're in the midst of this move and she's being very ugly and using expletives that would have had her sucking on soap just a few years ago. She's yelled at me for not helping. I drove an extra 1,000 miles to pick up 1/2 a trailer-full of their stuff, not to mention loading and unloading it by myself 3 times, including into the new place. I've made trips and have helped as much as I can after I get off work and I'm not "helping"?

Does anyone have to deal with a child (even an adult "child") who blames you for everything? She's constantly trying to lay on the guilt and I'm just not feelin' it which makes her angry. It's as though I'm supposed to wallow at her feet begging forgiveness for these things that just don't even matter anymore (and that I already apologized for when I learned of her perception of the situations). It's as though she's "stuck" and can't grow up and take responsibility for herself. I know she's got Asperger's, but I've not seen this kind of behavior addressed in any of the reading I've done about it.
