[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 178146, member: 47"] My eldest turned out to be a real pice of work, sadly enough, and although I love her very much, love her from a safe enough distance where she can't get close to do any more damage to me or to her brothers-I will not have her in my house, I don't trust her that much. I dealt over the years with some of her "quirks" - lord help you if she thinks you have done her wrong. Forging my name on docments that had I not worked for my boss for such a long time, would have meant an immediate dismissal for me and probably jail time for her. Her brothers, SO and I have rushed to her aid a few times after she hooked up again once again with another control freak and addict. She had moved back home, and tried to maniluplate difficult child into being removed, one way or another - since I refused to choose "him or her" she was bound and determined to get him out even if it was via being arrested and would goad him into melt downs using the foulest language and descriptive verbs (in front of the grandkids) hoping he would go after her (he never did although I was tempted to :( ) She lied to easy child about a ticket she told him she paid but didn't, resulting in a warrant for him. Took me for a large amount of money - I am such a dummy I believed something she told me. I call every other week or so to see how the grandkids are and just to keep in touch, (doesn't work the other way round) but I haven't seen her or them in months - ***** but anything more than a superficial conversation and she manages somehow to dis' me, saying something hurtful. I refuse to put myself out there anymore where as before I was jumping up trying to help her out - I realize now her life has always been and revolves around drama - and I am old, and tired. Am bent on keeping the bs to a minimum.. Marcie [/QUOTE]
