[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 708310, member: 17269"] My divorce attorney, who is really very relationship oriented and family friendly, used to tell me to stop negotiating against myself (offering things and compromises that no one had asked for yet). Somehow that struck home, and I realized that I do it with my kids as well, both Difficult Child and others. It is part and parcel of being an enabler. She didn't ask. Don't offer. There is a weird world in which maybe she didn't even expect anything. Either way it isn't time for you to give more support. As Maximus says in the opening scenes of the Gladiator "HOLD THE LINE!!!! STAY WITH ME!!" We are all in this together. Good luck. Echo [/QUOTE]
