[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 223616, member: 831"] What you wrote above just jumped out at me. It's so true and there's no fighting or reasoning with it. I'm so sorry for easy child. This is absolutely absurd what difficult child is expecting and how she is acting. She's got an extremely powerful weapon now: your grand child. Her way may be to just say, "Enough is enough. I'm done". I know I'm probably way out here by myself and because I had a narcissist father I'm sensitive to those that are hurt by them, but it just never got better with age. It only got worse. It didn't mean there were some good times, there were but I finally just couldn't take anymore of the drama, manipulation, and the cruelty. The outrage over small issues and the failure to see his behavior as hurtful and destructive. It hit me that he was simply NEVER GOING TO GET IT. I held out for years that he was going to get it, too. Once in a while when I would bring it up, he always managed to turn it around to be someone elses or, usually, my fault. I stopped all contact. That didn't mean I would hang up if he called, but I was very distant and vague. Since I did most of the contacting, I didn't hear anything for years. Frankly, I would tell difficult child to [I][U]step off. [/U][/I]I wish I had done that at least ten years before I did with my Dad. [/QUOTE]
