[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 297972, member: 7060"] You ladies have been a saving grace to me. This is a big 'ole cruel world but this little corner of PE is my safe haven. DDD, I love that kid with everything I have. Thank you for recognizing that. All of you have such good points. Star, I appreciate the inside information on counseling and perceptions. difficult child is 17 (easy child is 13) and 8 months away from adulthood. I've often wondered how much aunt is really enjoying having my difficult child. Suz, I felt the same way about the Christian statement and I've had a few of those bites on my behind myself. Ouch. Fran, he's not intentionally believing anyone else. He told his aunt what happened on Sunday when she returned home from the cottage on Monday. His perception of what happened is what she heard. She was furious with me apparently and over the course of the next four days (and I'm sure this weekend) she continued to tell difficult child how SHE felt and what SHE thought we did. So over the course of four days, he hears her word as Gospel and he eventually takes it as his own thought. It's a very powerful "gift" that my sister inherited from my mother. Nomad, I didn't have plans today but due to your question, easy child and I took off and challenged ourselves to climb the steepest dune I have ever encountered. Thank you for the motivation. I heard my sister's nasty words over in my head today. I cringed with pain knowing difficult child's heard these same things over and over since Monday afternoon. :sad-very: [/QUOTE]
