[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 447011"] Add me to the list of those who've seen plenty of this in the difficult child in my life--that absurd difficult child see-saw between cruel/cold indifference to anyone else's welfare (while they steal, party, lie, etc) and appeals to pity and even pleas for help/compassion, attempts to make you feel guilty, etc, when they're in trouble, caught red-handed, etc. I'll tell you a simple antidote, if you can somehow make it happen as easily as it did for me. I slept in the bedroom next to my difficult child nephew and overheard him, many many times, yammering quite profanely and gleefully with friends on his cell phone, usually in anticipation of that night's partying and the like, mere minutes after a massive festival of "guilting" his mother, whining about how everyone regarded him as a screw-up, poor pitiful misunderstood beleaguered-by-bad-reputation difficult child, etc. Then the closed-door gleeful yammering about the fun drugs and partying that were on the way. You learn to just see it all for what it really is: lies, lies, lies. Pure manipulation delivered on the fly. [/QUOTE]
