Sorry too that you are experiencing this with dd. Our 24 yo dd lives at home still but is not our drama queen. Ours is 30 and pregnant with her 2nd. She tends not necessarily to blame me for everything but being very vocal in her belief that the world hates her and she is never able to get a break. She went to college had a great job before she hooked up with DGS's father and then everything slowly slipped away and her little outbursts of high school became major meltdowns. We have tried to help in past and hoped that her helping her grandmother who had experienced a stroke a couple of years ago would make her a little less self-absorbed. Which it did at first but as my mother became stronger and able to do more on her own and her son in 1st grade she is convinced that her anger is because everyone is out to "make her angry".

We do have respites and going to WDW provides that too.

Do you have times that you two get away for lunch or dinner to discuss what is going on with her right now? That has helped with my daughter's outbursts and getting her focused on moving forward.
Hope this helps a little.
