[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 657854, member: 1550"] This was in adulthood and although she had different opinions, like political, than E., she definitely picked up E's ideas about me. But she was also a person who liked to skew reality to make her seem better. Cedar, for years and years she would not see my grandmother whom I talked with almost every day. We were very close and loved each other very much. Grandma would say about her "I wouldn't know her if she bumped into me." T2 came back into her life, probably to please E., late in Grandma's life. And I mean LATE. Yet when Grandma passed on E. got grandma's furniture and had it reupholstered for T2 as a mommento to Grandmother. She didn't ask ME if I wanted anything of Grandmas (didn't need anything. I had all those memories. I still have them). But it was so odd for E. to spend money at all let alone give this trophy to the grandchild who spent years and years ignoring her, like Grandmother didn't exist, and overlook the grandhild she KNEW was closest to her. To this day, 2 thinks that the few years she spent talking to grandmother was as significant as being grandma's best girl (and I was) from the time I was itty bitty. We were great friends too and Grandma confided in me. 2 sees herself the way she wants to see herself. And that is a trait of E's too. Golden Child has no SO so E. was his SO. He would not see an y bad in her. I get it, but that's where all this came from. If E. said it, it had to be true. If E. did it, it had to be right. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm glad I didn't drink E's poininous Kool-Aid. I loved my grandmother with all my heart and trust me E. was MUCH NICER to me before grandmother passed away. That's when the REAL abuse started as far as no contact and disowning...Grandma would have been furious at her. And I appreciate knowing that. But I do see Grandmother's flaws and she could stir up trouble too. The difference is, her heart was softer. Much. [/QUOTE]
