[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 241280, member: 3208"] Mentors are great unless you have a kid who can snow them. My dtr was the queen of twisting people around her little finger and then doing whatever she pleased. She could make people feel so good about themselves and how they were helping this really great kid who just needed some guidance. She would engage in meaningful conversations and make people feel they were really getting through to her only to turn around and do the opposite of what they had agreed upon. In fact, she met a boyfriend who was also a master at this so they conned many people into helping them by presenting themselves as a poor down and out couple who just needed a little guidance and a helping hand. Sorry, Allan, I know I am cynical but I think you don't know what it is like to live with a con artist. They love to work on solutions with others and appear to have great empathy for others and everyone who meets them is charmed by them. P.S. I do think my dtr has changed though since she left home--she had to get out on her own before she would make any changes. Jane [/QUOTE]
