[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654621, member: 18958"] Up until 2 and a half years ago, we lived in the same state, about 6 hours distant. Because of her job difficulties, and always needing to live high, she moved to another state far, far away from me, to accept a job where there was a lower cost of living. I think it was a good move for her. The funny thing is that underneath it all she is insecure, nervous and fragile. For example, when she was young, she would throw up when she started a new job. The sad thing is whether by choice or need, her version of strong was dominant and controlling, which to me, is not a leader. Cedar wrote about Sociopathy. That was really on target. People who feel entitled, as my sister does, often in late middle age, tend towards Sociopathy--their lives have not generated the rewards (psychological, principally) they feel they have deserved. They feel justified in doing (and acting in) whatever way they want ...to recompense what they feel they are entitled to and deserve, but lack. They want to inflict damage and revenge on those they feel do not deserve what they have. THEY are the only deserving ones...except for negative consequences for their poor choices. Do you see your ex landlady in this? The more I write the more I am thinking there are strong parallels. Are there? As I write this I am feeling sad, and a great deal of love for her. I wish I could get this straight. Thank you for your interest, ElizabethAnne. Do you have sisters? I am curious about your Mother, if you would like to share. [/QUOTE]
