[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 223045, member: 1233"] Jo, I am sorry. I know it hurts you to watch her behavior, to learn of her lies, to see her hurt other people with such flagrant disregard as though they weren't even people. Remember, the part of the brain that controls decision making isn't fully developed for a number of years yet. She will probably look back on all of this and be horrified in 20 years. As for the boyfriend, if your town is as small as you say, well, he KNEW what she was like when he started dating her. This MAY be a shock to him, but it SHOULDN'T be, simply because she was like this for quite a while before they got together. Something in this relationship iwth the nice boy fills HIS needs/wants. Maybe have the jacket come back stinky would be a way to help HIM learn. Though his learning is no more your responsibility than cleaning the jacket is. I hope the anger can soon pass. I remember a history teacher telling me that revolutions don't happen when people are just horribly downtrodden and abused by those in power. Revolutions happen when they get something a little bit nicer and tehn that is threatened. It was easier for you when difficult child kept dating guys like monkeyboy and acting like a gfgjerk. But then she started acting better, dating a nice guy, and now all that is threatened or going down the tubes. So you are feeling extra angry, because you had finally gotten some hopes and now it looks like they will not stay true. We know you love her. I am sorry somehting in her seems to need that conflama and the horrible treatment Monkeyboy gave her. Hugs to your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
