[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 198550, member: 831"] As someone who hadn't spoken to her Father for five years before he died, I would NEVER get over a comment declaring that he hoped I die in a car accident on the way home. Do I regret not speaking to my Dad? Heck, no. He was nothing but a source of manipulation and heartache. Would I have liked a NORMAL and HEALTHY relationship with him? Absolutely! But, after years of his nonense I finally got a clue that it wasn't going to happen. I know that people who have had close relationships with their parents don't get it. To be hurt and attacked completely unprovoked by the person who is suppose to love you more than anything in the world, is a devastation that has to be experienced first hand to be understood. It's the difficult child thing in reverse. Honestly, Witz, I would hang up the phone on her when she starts in with the family. Let her think whatever and let the rest of the family do the same.
