[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 488201, member: 6546"] Methuselah-- Many many (((hugs)))... Your difficult child 1 is the same age as my difficult child - so I can relate... You DO need to let go of some of this anger. I [I]know[/I] that her behaviors are not fair to you - not fair [I]AT ALL[/I]! And that she is telling lies about you and maligning your character...and none of it is true and it is just wrong to do that to somebody. The bad news? She is going to blame you and lie about you for many years to come....regardless of anything you try to do about it. You cannot control this. The good news? You CAN control YOU. You can separate yourself from the kinds of people who would believe difficult child 1's lies...and associate with those who know what a kind and loving soul you are. You CAN walk away from her in the heat of the moment. You DO NOT have to argue with her over what is true and what is false - you stick with the truth and stop trying to get difficult child 1 to see it or admit it...and proceed anyway. Stop getting s*cked into the vortex of difficult child-dom. I think you need to go out and do something nice for YOU today....but not in a "lounge at the spa" kind of way - more of a "Kickboxing class" way. Go do something with all that angry energy! Go do something that will get your endorphins flowing! Feel better about YOU! (((hugs))) again [/QUOTE]
