[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 519100, member: 6546"] Exhausted-- (((hugs))) This sounds pretty much like the conversations we have here, too.[I] You don't love me! I can't do anything right! I'm a big failure...and now that X has happened, I just wanna die. [/I] And then when the conversation is over? It's[I] Bye! See you later! I'm going out to do exactly what I want.... [/I]I feel like it IS manipulation - to a point. She knows that this kind of response will get you to back off. But I also think that she probably doesn't know a better response. It does not occur to her to take personal responsibility. To offer to make things right for you or her brother in any meaningful way. She feels that her pathetic, tearful [I]I'm sorry[/I] should be MORE than enough - and if you expect more than that then YOU are the one with a problem. So sorry... [/QUOTE]
