[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 753198, member: 24089"] "Flopping" is a great way of describing it. You are correct, she is capable. Today she said she wants to see if she can qualify for in-patient treatment. She was given the opportunity for outpatient, though I don't think she's even gone or followed through with it. So she can say whatever she wants, but there's absolutely no proof of action. But we are supposed to go along with whatever sticky story she tells us. Part of my detaching from this is to hear the words she says, but not allow an immediate response (emotionally, action) to it. She is in her own reality and believes a lot of her lies (or takes a non-response from someone/me as an indicator that I've fallen for her lies). She wants the authority of a parent but has not stepped up to the responsibility (ex. "I want to dress him up like this for Halloween... or I want to grow his hair long...) At this point [B]we need some tangible change[/B]. WE need to see it, my husband and I. Not words, or telling us what she's going to do (famous for this), but actual [B]visible gains and evidence[/B]. [/QUOTE]
