[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, try to put things in perspective. There's a lot worse than "seriously selfish." They could be vicious and destructive - that would be worse, right? Seriously selfish is really sad, but manageable.[/quote] Absolutely, they could have been murders or a host of other things. I am super responsible as a result of my upbringing but how do I turn off the sadness in my head? To the PP who asked about money/free childcare- that's a laughable thought. It's always a one way direction with them and they love to play mind games on me.[/quote] You have to choose to turn off the sadness in your head, which means emotionally disengaging from them. Obviously much easier said than done, but it's the only way to respond. If you have to cut off, or minimize, contact, then do so. Especially if they're playing mind games.[/quote]
