[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 201206, member: 1991"] That sounds like a really positive outcome. I really wonder about girls like K. I mean - you think about her, she really should be a decent person, she's got so much going for her, you would think... so why does she choose to be so mean? What is she getting out of it? What is this replacing in her life? And what sort of person is she going to become? I have encountered some truly mean people over the years, including a fascinating woman whose main enjoyment in life seemed to revolve around manipulating people purely for her own private, vicious entertainment. She would try to break up friendships, families, marriages. She would lie, she would cheat. All with a smile on her face. Inside, she was terrified of being old, unattractive and unloved. She would show you a photo of herself 20 years younger and 40 kilos slimmer and say to you (seriously) "Look, I am still as beautiful, young and slim as ever I was." Utterly tragic. YOu have just done a wonderful thing for your daughter. As it turns out, this was also a very good thing for her two friends. That's the unexpected bonus. And it DOES get easier from here - the first fight back is the hardest. Marg [/QUOTE]
