[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of emotional support is she expecting from you?  Can you give some examples?[/quote]

Not sure. But basically ‘things will get better’ perhaps. Just an FYI, this situation has not improved in the past 19 years. First it was her hubby issues that she needed to be rescued from. Then lawyer/divorce issues(lawyer fee), kid diagnosed with autism issues (12 year ago, kid 14) and high functioning goes to mainstream school etc. but she can’t help feeling sorry for herself and wants other to feel the same way.

I mean...you can give her some empathy.  But it's not like every family gathering has to revolve around her latest whoa.  People like this don't seem to understand that everyone has problems in life.  You deal with them as best you can.  The perpetual martyr/victim mentality would get very, very old.

Her going to family members expecting them to fork over money to her when she already earns a hefty salary as it is...that's just greed.[/quote]
