[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 701677, member: 17720"] I'm so sorry, McDonna. What a cruel, cruel thing to do. Even more so because it seems so calculated, in light of her "last chance" and "tread carefully" messages. The way I see it, she upped the ante, set the stage, and then you didn't follow her script. How dare you!! So she's lost some of her power, and she doesn't like it one bit. Sorry if I am out of line here, but I think she needs to lose some more power in your relationship if she says such horrible things to you, all because you didn't fall for her obvious manipulation. Wow. You would have been well within your rights to call her out on her BS. If you played the game like she does you would have called her out publicly. I think she would be doing both you and herself a favor if she DID leave you out of fixing her messes for awhile. I hope she follows through with her promises. If it helps to hear this, my son sent me a series of very similar messages when I wouldn't help him out of a (self-imposed) jam a few months ago. (The messages are so similar it makes me wonder which page of the d.c. handbook they referenced.) I didn't bite, though I did go through some miserable weeks when he blocked his family from FB and dropped out of sight, leaving me worried that our last conversation would be a cruel one. We eventually mended our fences to some degree, though of course far from perfect, or even far from "normal." But at least he doesn't talk to me like that anymore. [/QUOTE]
