[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 385069, member: 6546"] PG-- {{{{Pat}}}} {{{{Pat}}}} {{{{Pat}}}}} gently on shoulder.... I hear ya! It's OK... We have a similar husband/difficult child/MOM triangle at my house, too. I used to get really mad at husband for not letting me vent about all kinds of stuff - then I realized that he was just seeing all the *poo* from a different point of view. IOW - the poo I was falling for and getting angry about seemed very obvious lies to husband. Meanwhile, the poo that husband was falling for and getting upset about seemed obvious lies to me. We are still figuring out ways to commiserate without beating each other up. Recently, difficult child told me a story that had me searching all over the internet trying to verfiy. I was getting very angry and upset that I couldn't find the info I was looking for. husband came up behind me and kind of "hollered" at me that I let myself get caught up in one of difficult child's stories again and I needed to stop. I was angry - but OK, he was right. And husband will do the same thing. difficult child will tell him something and he won't even question it. Then I have to kind of check him and say Don't you know she was lying to you just now? And then husband will be upset...at me and at difficult child. I think this kind of anger and hurt just goes with the territory. I hope you and your husband can find a way to work it out without causing too many hurt feelings. [/QUOTE]
