[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626095, member: 17269"] at least the answer for me is "no." My mother, who believed in optimism as a state to chose, used to exhort us "be a pollyanna!". I may have carried that too far. Thank you for the clear sightedness of that statement. I believe you are correct, for they very succinct, fantastic statement you make below. Amen, sister. Ah, the biblical crux of it. And so we go, back to our toolboxes, our self care, our self acceptance, everything everyone has said on this thread. Let go let go let go and work on myself. I hesitated to engage in this part of the conversation, because caring about their wheeling and dealing is part of what sets me off on a toxic spiral...but yes, that is SOOOOO AGGRAVATING! They know it all... I need to say this to him. and this. Thank you, Child. This was extraordinarily helpful to me. Thank you, MWM, Albie, Recovering, Witzend (great to see you again!), Cedar, Pasa....thank you for engaging and helping me think through this. Echolette [/QUOTE]
