We all love a good cliff-hanger!

Funny, this sounds just like my XAH! I always thought of myself as the control freak in our relationship, but I am beginning to think that his behaviour is as much, if not more, about control than mine! That is a huge new concept for me.
I always thought that by giving huge amounts, I would teach others to give a lot, too. What I seem to have done, however, is teach them to take and take and take. First, because it was easy, and now because they think it is their right.....and when I don't give them what they want, they go to the extremes of behavior like your SIL. This seems so obvious to me once I look at the situation from the perspective that
HE is the control freak.
WOW. I gotta do some thinking about this. I am so glad you wrote this story. There are some parallels here that I need to explore.
Who is better than you, Dakota?!
