She's so much like her Dad, loved by the world until he got home and took it out on the family...his daughter is the same. When I arrived she was harping at the kids about what they hadn't done around the house. She knows how to set a mood, doesn't she? She's such an angry person. She takes jobs which are highly stressful, and being a perfectionist, puts more pressure on herself. She's so terrified of being seen as inadequate. Her Dad used to tell her she was stupid. If I had one bit of advice to give anyone dating it would be to look at the family of origin that your bf/gf came from cuz whatever was happening there WILL happen to you too. Anyway, D20 actually handled it well. I think the big blowout they had on Thursday may have had something to do with it. I called on Friday and they were going to the park for a walk together so that was nice to see. Voldy told me today "when we went for the walk she told me that when she lives on her own she was going to be a vegetarian and get a cat. I bit my tongue. I wanted to say don't you think you need a job first?" OMG, the kid can't even tell her Mom her dreams without the woman wanting to bitch at her.
