[QUOTE="TAnne, post: 697940, member: 20694"] Thanks so much for the suggestions and additional resources! Just an update, she called me from the facility and it was a rough 25 minutes that consisted of every manipulative trick she has under her belt. She blamed me for her problems, then blamed her friends, became indignant that I didn't plan to visit, guilt tripped me for not delivering additional clothing yet, etc. I've been reading a lot of the other threads throughout the day because I knew this was coming, and I'm proud to say that despite having to stop and breathe each time I started to feed into her drama, for the most part I checked my anger and tried to objectively make observations. I was really surprised to see how angry she was that I wasn't dropping everything to rush to the hospital. It really opened my eyes to the level of dysfunction I think our whole family is dealing with. So thank you all SO much. [/QUOTE]
