[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 276647, member: 4040"] Miss KT's father could be the poster child for that article. His "professional victim" routine is nearly perfect, after 50 years of practice. I have to agree with Lisa on his reasons for the bitterness, though, since he's still being supported by his mommy, I would say it was related to selfishness. His mother has developed the "bitter gene" since she was widowed, and has basically ignored Miss KT, her only grandchild, who spent a lot of time over there prior to Grandad's death. A formerly kind and generous woman has gone from showering her granddaughter with clothes and toys to someone who has requested a "hard copy" before she sends a check, made out to the college, for the first semester tuition that she offered to pay...and money is not the issue, she has it to burn. I think Grandma has allowed her shock and sadness to develop into bitterness and depression, but she hasn't spoken to me in about five years... [/QUOTE]
