Oh really...That is too bad. Ouch. Well, I hope that comes to an end. I had to go through that sh*t when I was a kid and it wasn't fun. I don't carry any grudges about it, yet I do remember the epic battles. This could be a form of 'projecting' if I understand the term correctly. It pretty much means that you are taking out your hostilities and such on others. I have also read several posts warning not to get dragged into a fight and to avoid them at all costs. Some of the stuff that her daughter has told me just blows my mind. Ex is hostile. I mean REALLY hostile. Now I can see if a kid does something like steal money from a parent or something along those lines to warrant this behavior, but that has not been the case. She is a VERY angry and frustrated woman right now. I have not talked to her in a month, and it looks like that is a very good thing.
