[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 666018, member: 1550"] My mom would give her what I call back handed compliments. Once, during one of my phone calls to make her like me near the end, she said, "XXX is such a good mother. I never thought she would be. I'm really surprised." I said, "Why are you surprised?" That kind of thing. Sticking up for her, even when we weren't talking sometimes. I don't really know if Sis was a good mother or not, but I wasn't going to let mother act surprised that she thought she was and voice it to me. I found that an insult, really. Mother never took one swipe at GC, but she would make comments indicating being unsure of Sis's competence from time to time. If we were having a good conversation she seemed to open up more and almost forget who I was and then she'd sometimes confide her feelings in me...lol. [/QUOTE]
