[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 701710, member: 20051"] McDonna, A doctor once told me that "illness is the ultimate manipulator." Think about it. If you are sick people are expected to dote on you. They are expected to be kind to you and do things for you. Illness absolves you of any responsibility in what is going on because it isn't your fault that you are sick, and you can act like any kind of witch you want because you are sick. Manipulative people lie or exaggerate illness all the time. McDonna, don't feed into it. The best thing is to just "skim the surface" so to speak. Don't confront her or call her on it and don't feed into it. She wants a reaction. She wants to get you upset in one way or another. If she is able to illicit a reaction she has control. A simple, "I am glad you are felling better." or "I'm sorry you aren't feeling well." and stick to the line, "We don't have the money." [/QUOTE]
