[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 561885, member: 6546"] Sig - (((Hugs))) I hear ya! FWIW - I think you are right. It IS ridiculous to have to play this stupid game... However, I think it's important to remember that you are playing this game for your OWN sanity - not for his. I feel like we all have this fantasy: that somehow, if we could just say the right words, or shake them hard enough, they would come to their senses. Deep down, though - you KNOW you could yell and rant and rave and scream and cry and stomp around and shake them until their teeth rattle and it won't change a darn thing. So instead, we practice small talk and try not to ask any of the "important" questions because we know, that even if we did try to have a meaningful conversation - it would only be an opportunity to get drawn into the rabbit hole again. And we don't need that... More (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
