[QUOTE="ksm, post: 693590, member: 12511"] And she isn't being rude or mean...it is just listening to her talk makes my blood pressure rise. I try to follow her thought process, and I bite my tongue not to say anything, but it is so hard. On her behalf, she is very polite and appreciative. But when she talks about what she is doing, tiffs with friends, and problems at work, I just feel stressed! Or when I mention upcoming dental appointment, she will say...what time is it? I don't know...I gave her the reminder card two days ago. Her manner, affect, speech patterns, her outfit, just stresses me. I guess I am being Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). When she was at home, I tried to gpgive guidance on what to wear...like appropriate clothing for specific purposes...what is ok for the lake is not OK for other areas. Make up for going out at night, isn't appropriate for a job interview....that kind of stuff. I am trying to let it go...let her figure out relationships, work, etc. But I think she will continue to struggle. And so will I. KSM [/QUOTE]
