[QUOTE="klmno, post: 406766, member: 3699"] LOL, Star! I'll keep that as a back up plan- in the meantime, if you want a little more practice driving that thing feel free to visit this area and I'll tell you where boss lives. (JK) Marg, that does sound exactly the same kind of manipulation and I whole-heartedly agree that some never break learned patterns from childhood. That's what I am referring to sometimes on others' threads in General when I say "not intentional, but 'learned' manipulation". I think they can start it when they are too young to realize it's manipulation but if it works, they keep using it and it does become much worse as adults if they are never able to open there eyes and see it for what it is and care enough to want to change those patterns. That has a lot to do with my stance with difficult child in some areas- I will not let him perceieve it as working now because I hate to think what kind of husband, parent, etc, he'd end upo being someday if he matured thinking this worked and was acceptable. My mother is a prime example. That previous job ad- I think it was a scam or risky in some way- I emailed expressing interest but caution due to website so nicely asked for the company name and alternate email addy. I rec'd a message back with no company name and what looked like a personal email addy so I let it go. I figure any legitimate company would either give the name or at least explain that due to "current employment changes underway" they would prefer not to make it known and still provide something that looked professional and legitimate.
