[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 666989, member: 18958"] These quotes below are from the Fanon Thread. This reminds me of my sister. How she identified with the worst of my mother....to become herself.I think of our sisters here too. And our part, too, which we are changing. That is the conversation. Our task is to identify the conversations we are having about power. Daphne helped us a great deal.I see my sister in this, too. She is at her most vulnerable when she feels powerful. She goes too far. She is intoxicated by power over. Instead of exercising power with restraint, with care, with responsibility...she goes for the kill. She seems to be unable to stop herself. Like my mother in the nursing home. Like the doctor outside the room. By her intoxication with her power she forgets to do the little thing...she becomes arrogant and lazy. Like not remembering that my mother could dis+empower her legally. She would not have thought of that. And did not. And when she discovered it: she tried whichever way she could to berate and abuse our attorney (and I) so that I would cower and consent. She could not intimidate us. *Although I was afraid. Our attorney was not. Yeah for pit bull attorneys who are on our side. She wanted me to buy from her anything of my mothers things that I wanted. When her will left each of us the right to have some things. I gave her first choice. She wanted me to purchase from her the rest. Maybe if I can find her emails to the attorney and feel up to it, I can post one or two, as a way to help us. [/QUOTE]
