[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 326383, member: 1991"] Just nod and smile, nod and smile... It's how we can get through so much in life. Anything she tells you that you're already doing, thank her for her wisdom and tell her that this sage advice is in exact agreement with what the best specialists have advised you to do. Stroke her ego, make her feel as if she is contributing something of use somewhere, because she clearly isn't having any impact on her daughter, and for someone like her (g'ma) to not have any impact on anyone even when she can so desperately see the need - very frustrating. So of course she will practice it all on you, because she has to gt results somewhere! For all her faults, she was there. I guess because she loves difficult child and she knows the right thing to do. But I do hear ya on "it doens't just run in our family, it gallops." Marg [/QUOTE]
