Sue, I understand completely!!! Only it's my Dad, instead of my Mom. She kind of keeps him under control about his judgements...or at least about him telling them to me. She tells him that he's going to make me quit going there so often, then he apologizes....but the hurtful words and accusations have already been said. My late husband was a lot like that, too. I used to tell him that I wish I was as perfect as he thought he was. Good luck, friend..... Heart Hugs, Ethel |

It seems sometimes those that believe they are perfect, can only be so by undermining others... A good write, Sue...venting is good, and you did this very well, and actually with some quiet respect...knowing that you cannot change "her"...with some quiet acceptance of what you cannot change... Brava... |

like I have told you before...let her know that you are grown and don't need to be made aware of past mistakes, and that NO one including her, is perfect. Otherwise this will continue to haunt you. hugssssss M |

(big hugggssssss) It saddens me to see people like that, I know when I'm right and I only speak the truth and I am also aware I am not perfect and can admit my faults. I think of my dad always thinking he is ALWAYS right and sometimes that deeply discourages me when I know that isn't true, he has a high intelligence and understands many people but I have seen him wrong before so he too is wrong sometimes! (sigh) This is wonderfully said, dearest friend, I send many angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sounds sadly familiar to me too ... (not my Mom though, she actually WAS perfect to me, but not in HER eyes). Thank you. Margherita |
