[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 690546, member: 19905"] I think that varies with each child. For example, my daughter's boyfriends never have anything to do with us BUT that is because she tells them the more horrible things and we are convicted before we have a chance to meet. When we do meet, they already have a negative impression. I don't know if this is a borderline thing....but... Her bio dad, who I am now convinced is also borderline, did that to me. He told me these awful stories about his dad, who lived far away. Of course, I took his side, felt protective of him, and believed every word he said. I disliked his dad before I even met him and "understood" why he maintained distance, and even encouraged it. Looking back, I realize how much of it was just BS and his dad was not the monster my ex made him out to be. I think my daughter, for whatever reason they do it, does the same. It explains why she distances herself and they back her up and support her feelings. [/QUOTE]
