After I finally got her attention by threatening to cut off her oxygen supply for a week (i.e., take her computer offline), my stepdaughter and I got on amazingly well, and she actually started to take care of her sick mother, too.
I even made her favourite Thai dish. She was spooning it into her bowl, muttering: "I love cilantro! I love green onions!"
