[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 375325, member: 135"] I think that's it in a nutshell. There's probably a level of cluelessness there, and definitely a self-serving way of dealing with things but what difference does it make? She is manipulating you whether she means to or not because she has you all upset again. Whether it's by design or by accident, the result is the same. Take the apology, forgive her for your own sake and that of your difficult child, and move on. One of the mantras I learned when my difficult children were younger that has served me well is , "You can't control other people; you can only control your own reactions to them." [/QUOTE]
