Hey Vicam I hear ya...I've done my share of manipulating for various reasons. My concern is that she is simply doing these things because she is bored, not because she doesn't feel heard. It feels as if she just creates chaos for the sake of creating chaos which is a dangerous thing to do; it can certainly make for a lonely existence because people aren't going to put up with that.
The drama she creates sometimes is seriously annoying and I have no tolerance for it which I'm sure satisfies her on some level however the end result of her getting into trouble and not getting to do what she wants to do...I would think anyway would be a deterrent however I have yet to see it impacting her enough. It scares me to be honest.
