[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 491111, member: 2315"] I have typed a very long reply here twice only to have it lost in cyberspace. so briefly this time...My grandson is 3 so no PPD is involved. My daughter is not a easy child but we have had a relatively peaceful relationship for over a year so I listed her as a easy child. I will have to change that LOL. She will be from here on out once again difficult child#1. Some of the old timers on this board will remember her. Indeed she was no picnic to raise and maintaining a calm and reasonable relationship with her as an adult is a trial. I am managing but it is hard. I do it for my grandson who she will deny me visitation with if I come down hard on her. To be clear I do not allow manipulation I merely do not engage in her tiffs. I have to watch my words and my reactions. Thankfully it is easier over the phone. When she called she said "I just wanted to know if you and dad were comming for Christmas since (brother) is home" I replied "are you saying that he is not invited?"( She had been ranting over him for weeks now). She replied "pretty much" to which I said well then we won't be comming I'll see you here at 5:30 Christmas Eve" She replied "OK" I then said "bye" and hung up before she could get anymore toxic stuff said. Of course I whispered some not so nice stuff to myself about her after I hug up. But hey I'm human too. [/QUOTE]
