[QUOTE="KFld, post: 34382, member: 2442"] Sorry you had such a terrible holiday. What I was reading between the lines was that Angela had just had it with the walking on eggshells and Melissas behavior and though it was not the best timeing, she just couldn't stand it anymore and blew up. Actually I guess it didn't take reading between the lines, that is exactly what you described [img]:smile:[/img] Sometimes we don't realize how much we are consumed by the needs of our difficult child, that we minimize the needs of our easy child's until they just can't stand it anymore. I know there were many times I walked on eggshells and put easy child's needs 2nd, just to keep difficult child happy and unstressed so everyone else didn't get stressed. I'm not saying this is exactly what happened, but that is what I guess I meant by reading between the lines. Sounds like she felt that difficult child was going to get her own way, sitting where she wanted with no regards to what anyone else wanted or usually does and couldn't take it anymore. I could be totally wrong, and not that it makes Angela's reactions appropriate for a holiday dinner, but I think I would try to speak to Angela and find out what was really behind her reactions. Maybe she feels everyone bends over backwards for Melissa and all she requires is a vegeterian dish at the holidays and doesn't think it's too much to ask for. [/QUOTE]
