[QUOTE="DDD, post: 402370, member: 35"] Even at my age I just don't understand why problems come in threes or fours or fives. It's just not fair! I'm sorry. Regarding the negative coworker perhaps it would help you feel better if you figure out a set response for her unwelcomed comments. Those of us with older difficult child's often had to write down and memorize a simple response to keep from getting too absorbed by GFGisms. Perhaps a single simple sentence like "the company is really lucky to have you" or "you sure have reasons to feel proud of your performance". It will deflect her, perhaps, from criticizing you if you give her the positive affirmation that she evidently really needs. Once the sentence is said, by the way, that is the end of the discussion. It's like a polite blow off. I think I'd try it. Meanwhile I'm keeping you in my caring thoughts and hope that tomorrow is better. DDD [/QUOTE]
