After my " Ahhhhh!!, and my telling my Nada how I view the situation, which

basically lets her know I'm not happy with her, she called me and in her happy

voice, asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with her. O---M---G !!

Let's do another Ahhhh tonight! Thanks for participating London! And by the

way....I am a single parent, but he's out of the house now (27), and I can so

relate to the trouble that happened as he grew older....only thing is, this I'm

happy with....I raised him to feel safe to tell me how he feels, to be honest

with me, and I've always spoken to him with respect, etc. (I promised myself

that I would NEVER be like my Nada). So, as a result, he can walk away easily

when she's insulting, speak his mind easily with her, and not dwell over it at

all. As a matter of fact, he constantly tells me, " You know she's nuts....why do

you act so surprised over what she says to you? "

Gosh, ......I don't know. I'm working on it. Barbara
