[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This would fix it: Car service (Uber) for both to visit. Cousin stays an hour; Mom, for as long as she likes. Schedule it around the party. For example, there's the hour between opening presents and dessert or whatever. Cousin will be gone for that period to pay her respects. This is NOT triangulating. Saving someone from despair is a helping act. Triangulation refers to an unhealthy pattern of communicating to B through C. You're NOT doing that. You, A, see B is bullying C, and want to spare her that. NOT TRIANGULATION. [/quote] Yes, that's exactly what this is. Any time you can say "This is an A-B conversation, so C your way out of it," it's triangulation.[/quote] Someone got an A in Psych 101 20 years ago and thinks she knows what she's talking about.[/quote]
