Hi Hops and Lighter, and thank you.
It's one of those N situations where, if you say to someone that you're disgusted that your sister got her kids to write a Christmas card to your son, you sound like a fruit loop that's just looking for something to whine about. I guess it's different because I (and probably all on this board) know and understand the manipulation the mind games that accompany it and just how awful it will be for those children growing up.
One of the reasons I know it's one of their sicko games is because neither of them sends, or gets the kids to send, cards to my other sister's three children, who are all grown up and happy to be in contact on a casual basis. Now if you were going to get your kids to send cards to anyone, surely it would be their cousins of 18, 21 and 22, all of whom would be happy to meet with them and hang out for a while. That's what a normal person would do.
Grrrr. Still makes me feel sick to my stomach but oh boy, I am so glad that family ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!!!!!!!! Freaks.
Thanks, guys xxxxxx
