but her typical way of telling stories is to project. My thoughts on the reality of her sitch is that HE has probably broken it off and SHE didn't take it very well. She has a tendency to reverse the situations in her stories when the reality doesn't favor her. She uses this technique to impress people. Quite perverse really; but par for the course.
Yeah, this is definitely par for the course.
Well...sounds like you are doing the best you can and doing great by the kids. I wouldn't put too much stock in what she says about God...or anything else for that matter. I think she just says whatever comes into her head in any given situation, and it's usually some form of mirroring. So with you, it's God talk. With someone else, it's probably feminist empowerment talk. She doesn't know who she is.
Of course that's all just my 2c. But you can have it for free! lol
