[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 654256, member: 18856"] It's hilarious now that you point it out! It's so pathetic - do these kids honestly think that what they come at us with is in anyway logical? It's unbelievable to me the utter c**p that comes out of her mouth sometimes - she knows it's c**p, I know it's c**p so why even say it? So ridiculous I'm speechless sometimes. I'm back on top of the emotional hill, as I think of it, and feeling strong and confident again about my Difficult Child and (what do you call this...my life, the pain in my neck? lol) my situation because I am so angry with her for even trying to feed me nothing but completely invalid responses and expect me to just swallow it down. Why even communicate with me at all if you have absolutely nothing that is logical or valid to say???? It's like making a pointless phone call to someone just to say....hi....and that's it - there're no more value in that than what she says on any text or phone call. I'm frustrated and angry and just fed up but it's strange....I always feel the best after she has, once again, reached out and given me her normal B.S. -that's when I get mad again and feel completely validated in detaching. The hard part is how to remain feeling confident about my decisions and actions between those communications when I start to miss her and feel sad that things have turned out this way - that's the thing that trips me up and keeps my emotions on an everlasting roller coaster. I guess time will help that one because my Difficult Child's behavior certainly isn't. I'm going to need a calgon moment after work, days like this drain me and I wish it wouldn't but it does. Now that I'm on the backside of another interaction with her I feel happy and upbeat and it will last for a while - I just wish I could learn to allow myself to always feel that way, even when I hear from her because truly I should be able to - if I've detached. Thanks again to everyone - it's my life preserver each and everyday when I need a place to vent or talk to someone - I am eternally grateful. [/QUOTE]
