Hiya Nomad,
Yes, yes and yes. UGH.
I have found, both my two have odd behaviors and habits. Some overeating. The tight clothes, I see lots of 20 and 30 something women with this......
Moodiness. Not being able to have a decent conversation.
I do not know which came first, the traits, or drug use magnifying this?
But, I am like you with this Nomad, I do not address issues. It would just start drama.......not pleasant.
The last couple of times I saw Rain, I did not make any controversial comments, just hugged her and told her how much I love her.
I really like this way of looking at it Cedar. So positive. Nomad, I did not see my two for Christmas, they are mad at me for detaching......
Yes, I have this feeling, too.
I feel the same. Especially, the tyrant part. Entitlement.
When my two do come over, it is like a storm approaches. There is an anxious feeling, because I never know what to expect. My grands, though I dearly love them, are whirling dervishes of chaotic energy. It is not their fault, they have not learned otherwise. So, I just remind them they need to have indoor manners at Tutus house. They are much better behaved when not around their parents.
I didn't see them either, they are withheld from us at the moment.....
SIGH.
I think this is absolutely true. What a beautiful statement, Copa.
(((HUGS)))
