Val, you are familiar enough with my sitch to know my W defriended our daughter after our daughter befriended me. IMO this action was an attempt to manipulate, and an example of conditional love.

Your W felt what she felt and reacted the way she reacted to your posted pics not b/c of your post, rather b/c of her own issues. This is her work to be done by her, her tasks to accomplish.

When we walk on eggshells to keep from causing them pain we do them a disservice and permit control of ourselves. I know you know this as do I and still we pragmatically avoid p1ssing them off, until quite by accident we do.

There is this Dr Seuss quote: “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” I try to keep in mind. While I am picking my battles and terrain.
