[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 457239, member: 12725"] BusyWend : Actually, I will say, "It can't be her! Why, she has excellent phone manners!" :-/ We have tried a variation of your suggestion followed by "how you feel right now is how we feel whenever you lie to us." She just stared. I think she grasped what I was trying to do, but she was angry I went there. I think she may have said one her favorite lines: what kind of mother does that to their kids? I explained: the kind that cares. She is big on deferring blame and guilting others for thinking poorly of her. She is a great manipulator. I think I frustrate her, bc I don't fall for it. [/QUOTE]
