How do I deal w/my manipulative mother?
I'm just at a loss w/how to actually conversate w/her like normal human beings. She is so manipulative. It's like, every single human interaction she has, she some how manipulates it. It drives me nuts! It's so hard for me to believe anything she says, because she never tells the whole truth. No matter what it is she is talking about, she some how adds more to the story. And I mean, a lot more..........to where the story isn't even the "actual story" anymore! All my life, I have never been able to explain my mom, and when ever her and I have argued, I always leave wondering what just happened, because she is so good at manipulating every thing I say and how I say it and making me feel just at a complete loss of words. Not that long ago I googled "Emotional Manipulators" and what I read was my mother to a "T"!!!! Please help me figure out a way to deal with her and how to some how get my points across w/out her manipulating everything i am saying. I just don't know how to deal w/her. It's so weird because she is an honest to god emotional manipulator!!!!!
4 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoI need help dealing with my manipulative mother. I am at a loss and she is destroying me :(?
I along with my daughter have lived with my mother for the last year. Before i moved back in with her, I knew that she was manipulative....but I never knew the extent & I couldn't quite put my finger on how to explain how she was. But since i have lived with her, I have realized that she is beyond manipulative......she is emotionally abusive aswell. I just don't know what to do, because at this point, and for at least another 2 months, I do not have anywhere else to take my daughter and I. She is not bad to my daughter at all, but she is destructive to me, and doesn't hesitate to put me down in front of my daughter.....although my daughter is only two, I just hate being emotionally abused and put down in front of her. I don't want my daughter to think it is normal behavior.
It is so hard for me to explain how my mother is and what it is that she does, because she is so good at confusing me when we argu, and talking in circles, and putting words in my mouth. When ever I am with her, i always leave wondering what just happened! Sometimes she can be so nice and so helpful, but that never lasts long. It's so weird because it's as if at times she is a completely different person! I just don't get it and I can't even explain it! She has just got my mind so twisted and stuff. I need help so bad! I have no idea how to deal with her anymore. She makes me feel crazy because she is so good at twisting and turning things. What should I do for the next 2 months while i am here? I feel like i have tried everything when it comes to dealing with her, but it's as if she learns all my new techniques of dealing with her and she uses them against me. It's weird because she is my mother, yet when she is mad, she holds no compassion for me at all! Before living w/her, we would argu and stuff, but she wasn't so extreme and hateful. I loved her so much! But now I don't even see her as the same person! My family would never believe the kinds of things she says to me when no one is around. She can be the most ruthless and vengful(sp?) person ever! And when she's mad, she holds nothing back. She will emotionally squash me like a bug. Please give me some advise on dealing with her? I am just totally at a loss now and i feel like i have allowed her to just emotionally destroy me. Any advise would be greatful.....especially from those who have dealt with true emotionall manipulators. Thank you....
2 AnswersFamily1 decade agoCutting adult Ibuprophen into 4 and giving 1/4 to a 2 year old?
My friend asked me to google it for her, but i come up with nothing. I told her to call a pharmacist. see what they say...
Anyway, what could happen if an adult cut a 200mg ibuprophen (sp?) into 4 and gave a quater to a 2 year old? She told me that her Mother N Law did that yesterday w/her daughter because she said that the toddler was feverish. My friend didn't find out about it till today. and was very PO'ed.......and i guess her mother N law didn't understand why my friend was upset. But does anyone know what side effects could have accured if anything did go wrong/what would they be???

1 AnswerSpecial Education1 decade agoAll I can do to help is share their story. What's happening to this family is wrong! This is long...?
This is a letter that I wrote and posted on my Myspcae. After I posted it, I realized that I wanted this letter to be read by more than just my myspace friends. I am hopeful that this letter will be read by as many people as possible, because all I can do to help this family is to try and spread their story around!
I don't know why I haven't told anybody about this......I guess it's because I don't think anybody will actually care! But hopefully, by writing this, I can shed some light on to something that probably happens a lot more often than anybody would think.
Across the street from where I live is a little family of very sweet and caring people. Everybody on our street knows who they are, because, well, you can’t help but notice them. lol. All three of them have a handicap. Both the mother and father have learning disabilities, and so does their daughter Dorothy.....whose disability is a little more extreme than her parents.
When I first came across this little family, I'm sure that I treated them the same way as everybody else in this world does. I didn't pay them much mind and gave them as little of my precious time as possible. I mean, why wouldn't I!?! I'm better than them right!?! I don't have a disability that draws negative attention to myself, so in turn, that makes me better.......Right? Well, actually, It doesn't!!! And over the years of living across the street from them and getting to know them, I have come to know this fact more and more! They are really good people, who's minds work a lot better than anybody would ever think, and their emotions are very real.....maybe even more real than some of the people I consider friends!
It may have taken me some time to realize that they are more than just "the handicap family" that lives across the street. But I am honestly thankful that I am lucky enough to have gotten to know them for the gentle, loving, caring, and most of all "responsible" people that they are, because if I hadn't, than I'm sure I would feel differently about the situation that is going on with them now! I'm sure I would be blinded to the fact that they are actual human beings, who have fought all their lives to prove to the world that they are much more than their disability!!!!!!
A little over a year ago, Rita and Clearance found out that their 22 year old daughter Dorothy was pregnant. Although shocked at first, as any parent would be, Rita and clearance's shock soon turned to excitement. As time went by and Dorothy’s belly started to grow, Dorothy and her parents became more and more excited! Actually, a lot of people became excited for them. Over the 10 months of pregnancy, Dorothy got everything she needed for her baby. She went to all her Dr. appointments and did everything any expectant mother would do to prepare for the arrival of their new baby. Dorothy was just glowing with joy during her pregnancy! It was great to see her like that.
On March 28, 2009, Little Jacob Henery Perry made his debut. He was born at Enloe Hospital, weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was a beautiful newborn baby! The Perry family was overwhelmed with joy!!! And Dorothy went through labor with out any pain med's.........which is something I, myself could not do! But Dorothy was determined!
Soon after Jacob was born, the Perry's and the hospital realized that Jacob had a Cleft Palate. "Palate" is another name for the roof of your mouth. A "cleft" is simply a gap, separation, or hole that results from abnormal fetal development. It's a birth defect, and it can make breast feeding your newborn baby very hard, and sometimes impossible. Even bottle feeding can be nearly impossible. This is one of the many reasons that children in developing countries born with cleft palates do not survive past infancy. So you can imagine the fear Dorothy and her mother felt when they found out Jacob had this birth defect! Not to mention, breast feeding alone can be VERY hard and very stressful on a new mother.....and that's when a baby doesn't have a Cleft Palate. Almost all babies lose weight during the first week or so of life. Breast feeding and bottle feeding is not as simple as 1-2-3.
So on March 31, 2009, Enloe Hospital went ahead and sent Jacob home. At that time Jacob had already lost nearly a pound of weight, weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Which is quite a bit more weight to lose than is to be expected, and in my opinion, should have been a clear sign to the hospital that Jacob was not thriving very well and that Dorothy needed more one on one help with feeding him!
