[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609280, member: 1550"] I'm proud of you, although I don't know why you give her any money at all. But if it works for you, and you feel more at peace, that's really all that matters. When the difficult children (are they not absurd? NOTHING we do is ever any good...doesn't give us much incentive to do ANYTHING)...anyhow, I digress...when these difficult children decide to pout or do irrational stuff, then it's time for us to go into "my mental health first" mode and do whatever is best for us, not the difficult child, in order for us to have good lives and feel content inside, in spite of the difficult child. I personally think your parents are awful. I don't blame you for not trusting them. If you can ever get to a level of trust with them after this, you are a better person than me. At any rate, you handled your father very well too. Sometimes I think that when difficult children say "I have no respect for you" or the ever famous "I hate you" they really mean, "I have no respect for myself. I hate myself." Hugs and keep up the good work and keep treating yourself with the respect and niceness that YOU DESERVE :))) If misery loves company...lol...know that I just got hung up on by 35 for "not having enough faith in me!!!" LOLOLOL. Oh, if ya don't laugh, ya'll cry :) [/QUOTE]
