[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 195793"] Witz - I didn't find your comment glib or unthinking...no need for apologies. I've had those thoughts myself. We are close, but there's a reason we live 45 minutes apart. And my mom has always had a flair for the dramatic...makes a mountain out of a molehill kinda thing so the leap from Gothic to using drugs didn't surprise me. Well, it kind of did at first (that she would say that about my daughter) then it was like, yeah, well this is mom. I have told both of them in the recent past that they are both old enough to be responsible for their own relationship. Not that it's done any good. She doesn't do more for one than the other (Devon and Wynter). It's just that one can do no wrong and one can do no right. Wynter is hypersensitive and so is my mom (but she would never admit it). They both take every thing very personally so it's really just a bomb waiting to explode. One of them says something, the other one takes it the wrong way and gets mad, then the first one is so upset because the other one is 'being mean' or 'acting entitled' depending on who reacted first. See what I mean? And today my mom was still excusing Devon's behavior from when I was so sick before while Devon, having overheard the conversation (I didn't know he was in the room) was apologizing for his behavior from then. Sigh. I'm just going to have to let this go for now and deal with it as it comes up. Thing is, I really don't think she realizes how much different she treats the kids. She would probably be absolutely shocked. [/QUOTE]
