[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 650174, member: 18366"] I think it is very hard not to get emotionally sucked in, even when we know our Difficult Child is playing the same tired games. Why? Because we have the [I]feelings, [/I]that they are missing. I learned this saying a long time ago - if you don't want to be a doormat, get off the floor! In this situation it applies as in she is purposely hurting your feelings and you are emotionally "on the floor" over what she is doing. Don't let her draw you into her sick games. When the family meets with her, try to find something pleasant that you can do for yourself that soothes you. Once you learn to put yourself first, no matter what dysfunctional people are doing, the sting of what they do will naturally fall away. Actually you are lucky in that you do not "have" to see her, knowing that she is only meeting the others to entangle them in her web. Better to be left out than be a player in a game you don't want to play! [/QUOTE]
