[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 715575, member: 4152"] Yep. I absolutely will NOT invite her over until I am more ready. The truth is, chances are fairly good, I will be ok with having her over prior to Christmas for coffee. In other words, I will probably have a day or two here and there that things will be calm and if it coordinates with her schedule...so be it. AND, her husband is very pleasant...this is big plus. Otherwise, she will have to wait. I think this type of thing we have learned from our Difficult Child. NOT to put ourselves last. NOPE. These "things" sometimes end up being weird philosophical questions. I am doing my best to sticking to what I mentioned to Pigless (at least this is what I'm currently thinking...reserve the right to change my mind...LOL)...with relatives... 1. be polite 2. not expect much 3. avoid gossip However, if someone is abusive, this changes and avoid avoid avoid. She has not crossed the line of abusive with me. I DO think it is likely a game...just not sure. It is definitely her issue and not mine. More, VERY annoying , and a little sad. PS Very much appreciate getting this input and also getting this off my chest. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
