Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

She’s a tad on the narcissistic side. His dad actually had custody - she didn’t want custody so I’ve been told until she and her new hubs decided to move. Then of course she had to take him because how does it look. Whenever she sends her guilt tripping texts to hubs it’s not how are you it’s how does it make me look when people ask about you and I don’t know. He’s the spitting image of his dad - I don’t see much of her in him so that could also be a factor. Sigh I don’t know.

I tried when I moved down here. She started off on good behavior but...After a few times of his mom going psycho and yelling screaming and cussing at my hubs I threw my hands in the air and said duck it. I’m not trying anymore. We’re better off without that toxicity and I’ve let him take the path of non action with his mom. She took me off Facebook a while back so I’ve just shrugged and said nuts to this for a while now. I just hate hate hate seeing hubs upset like this.

Yes, I understand but you can’t fix him. Just be there for him. It sounds like she isn’t going to change. I know it must hurt like hell to have a mom like that. He needs to learn how to not let her affect his happiness in life.

Shalom And good morning Grannyland!
@Wishing4Wings see this one, what a wonderful world could it be, if more muslim whould have this point of view.

Shalom Benny. I will have to watch the entire video later tonight, but I can't help wondering how long this man will survive... there must be many who want him silenced.

We all bring in baggage from our childhood. It how we deal with it as adults that helps us grow. No excuse for her shabby treatment of him, but don’t you wonder why she she would be so bitter and mean to her own son. Family dysfunction just keeps on going until someone breaks the cycle.

So true, h2o. So very true.

Your hubs needs to believe there is nothing wrong with himself... I bet when he is around her he feels 12 yrs old again. He is internalizing her behavior and blaming himself for it. But the truth is he's an adult now, she can only treat him the way he allows her to. He can pity her for her mental illness, he can love her because she is his mother, he can mourn the relationship that never was, but as long as he allows and accepts the blame for her poor behavior, the cycle will continue. She has the problem, not him, but he allows her to continue. He is not doing himself or her any favors. She does not sound like a happy woman. No one should enable her... you all should disengage.

Mid morning Grannyland, once again a late riser. For some odd reason my body is needing extra sleep right now. Have been averaging 9 hr a night all week. This is crazy from a person who is used to getting 4 or 5 a night. Thinking new medication is causing it. Well whatever, sleep is good for the body, I'LL take it lol. Here's what happens when you try to take eggs out from under a non- broody hen. She squawks & screams at everyone until she lays her egg. This seems to take hours to accomplish. As soon as she lays she jumps down out of the nest like its no big deal. I've been removing eggs a number of times a day because I've got an egg eater somewhere in the flock. I made the mistake of trying to reach under her on Wednesday. She managed to peck me about 12 times before I got a hold of her head. Once I got her head I switched hands to holding her head down with my left hand. As I reach under her with my right hand she went for my left wrist. She grabbed on with her beak & wouldn't let go. She finally let go when she realized she couldn't breath. She's really lucky that I wasn't in a pizzy mood or the lack of oxygen might have been permanent lol.

ouch! I had a mean broody... Wyandotte, go figure. I took a plastic cup and shoved it over her head while I grabbed the eggs. After a week of this she decided to quit trying to bite me.

More very good advice.
