She is likely switching gears on you because she is confused herself. If you are thinking she is doing it for manipulation, it will have exactly that affect. Remember, and you may have seen this in DR, believe none of what she says and 50% of what she does.


That's part of my problem I don't really know how to GAL. I don't have any friends and I'm a pretty shy person so just walking up and striking a conversation with someone is really hard for me. me and her brother are pretty close but it's awkward to go over there. The couple of times I have been I called first to see if she was there and if not then I'll go. I don't go to my parents house a lot because my dad's health is going downhill so quickly it's depressing. All I really do is go for walks. I got laid off from my job the other day due to slow business so I just feel like I'm on a slipstream of things going downhill. So I'm isolated all the time now. What money I do have I have to save till another job comes along which I had a couple of interviews today.

I do remember reading that actually. I keep the book next to me quite often except of course when she's over. How do I know she's confused when she seems to have her mind made up?
