[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 287878, member: 1233"] You are NOT horrible. You are teaching her to cope with the world. She will eventually have people around her who choose to be. Not those who are paid to be, or who are bound by love. It will be a HORRIBLE awakening if you let this go much longer. She will be in shock, but better now than later. Be cheerful, demand respect, the "It is just my personality" is a cop out. Tell her so. Tell her that you EXPECT her to be nice, polite and cheerful and anything else will result in loss of your services and provisions. It will be hard, but this has GOT to stop. At least you must stop dancing to her sourpuss tune. Because the real world won't be so nice, and will mow her down if she is like this. Better she learns NOW that being ugly has ugly responses from the world. Hugs. I know this situation hoovers. Go see the therapist anyway. Let difficult child be upset about it. If you don't go see the therapist, the therapist will continue being unable to help difficult child. Just take the next appointment that is already set as yours. Be matter of fact with difficult child. If she is upset, oh well. That can be HER problem, not yours. [/QUOTE]
