[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 397793, member: 6546"] Shari-- I think you need to come to terms with the fact that Two Brooms likely has a "difficult child Condition" of some kind....some kind of personality disorder...regardless of whether it's been officially diagnosed. You need to come to terms, because right now, you are expecting her to be logical. You look for rational explanations for her actions. You seek to understand her reasoning and her motivation. Well, I think you need to start looking at her in terms of "What would a full-blown difficult child do?" And suddenly, the puzzle pieces fall into place... click click click. A difficult child is incapable of seeing the world through anyone else's point of view. There is no empathy. There is no setting aside her own concerns to think of someone else...there is only ME! ME! ME! ME! Why [I]wouldn't[/I] she plan Thanksgiving dinner while you were in the OR? I mean, you had [I]clearly[/I] messed with her holiday plans.... And she wasn't about to let [I]her[/I] stuff - dogs, buggies, horses etc - get lost just because you had an accident. She needed your son to help...he could visit you after all of HER stuff was safely put away. ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! Remember that next time you deal with her... It will probably give you less frustration. ((((Hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
