[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 62528, member: 3450"] Hi Mom to 3, I think you are right--nothing Emily does is "innocent"--there is extensive family history involving her extreme jealousy of Molly. Recently, I found a journal she had been writing in a couple of years ago and in one entry she began writing about how wonderful Molly was, only to turn against her suddenly and call her horrible names. This was all in one writing--very strange, but very telling. She seems to love and hate Molly at the same time. I do plan to just let it lie and their paths don't cross often now. I will be allowing Emily to come over tonight to burn some cd's but it will be while Molly is away at her tutoring. They talk occasionally on the phone but it is very limited. Molly's therapist does not want them to have much contact because Emily is such a trigger for Molly's dissociative problems and also Molly needs to feel safe in order to be able to work on other ways of coping. Emily knows very little about Molly's life at this point--she doesn't know Molly is struggling to complete schoolwork so she can go on to 11th grade, she doesn't know Molly spent a week in the psychiatric unit at our hospital back in April, she knows very little anymore. This is how Molly wants it, she needs to be protected. Oh, another thing Emily did that disturbed Molly--she and her boyfriend bet on Molly losing her virginity at age 16. Emily is very invasive of Molly's privacy and you got it right--she is very passive-aggressive where Molly is concerned. She does not seem to be capable of a healthy relationship with Molly. I am able to keep my own boundaries in place and she doesn't impact me anymore but Molly is still learning how to do that. Emily controlled her for so long, it is hard for her to deal with her. Thanks so much to everyone who replied--it means a lot to me, Jane [/QUOTE]
