Re: Here's what I would do, I think

Thanks Adriane, that's a good idea to send her the diagnostic name. She's just the type to google so I will go ahead and send the link.

Truthfully, the more I think about this, the more I am getting annoyed at being "put on the spot" and feeling "pressured" One thing about me, as much as I love to please, at the same time...if someone pisses me off...watch out!!! And my patience these days is wearing real thin.

If the tables were turned she wouldn't feel bad about telling me "sorry I can't" so that being said, if I'm not feeling well next week, Im going to tell her "sorry, no can do" and she will have to deal with it. I have a feeling next week I am going to be REAL SICK, because truthfully, what would be best is if I don't see her. I have no desire to see her, at all. Sad, because she is family but- it's just how I feel with her behaviors with me in recent years. And if my husband and I are going to "splurge" on dining out, which we NEVER do, I would prefer to dine with him and him alone!

Thank you for a great idea and for writing. I can do this!!
