[QUOTE="witzend, post: 100026, member: 99"] GG~ While I appreciate your input on this, you don't have enough information to appreciate that L has been the center of this for the past nine years, brought into it by my parents. I didn't and haven't "brought her into it." They've used her as a tool from beginning to hurt and manipulate and their interference with me as her parent in the most basic matters was the final straw in our relationship. She has been torn for years about it, and all I did was give an adult woman a reasonable explanation why I am not falling all over myself to go to a family reunion with 400 strangers when I'm not welcome at any actual family functions with my brothers, sisters, and parents. But L is always invited without husband and I. And every time (though she goes less and less) she comes back to me crying because they tell her I don't go because I don't want to, and "why don't you just try?" She's not a little girl any more, she's a woman who has been manipulated against me from the age of 14 months when her dad and step-mom told her to call me "Mommy Witzend" and the stepmom "Mommy" because I was "only the mommy because she was in my tummy and stepmom is her real mommy because stepmom's the one who loves her." She deserves to be dealt with rationally and honestly. Our relationship is going well, and she is dealing very well with this and not upset. She's seeing things clearly and acting rationally. Much more maturely than I would have hoped for two years ago. Your advice might be right on for some, but not in this case. I do appreciate your concern, though. No hard feelings. I'll update the saga seperately. [/QUOTE]
