[GAMANON SUPPORT GROUP ] Re: what a jerk!!!

Joyce,

I don't know what to say to you that can possibly be of help, but you
are in my thoughts and prayers. I can imagine your MIL really working
the cancer angle... that's sad to say. It's so easy to say consider
the source of all the comments, don't let her get to you, detach
yourself from the situation, but it's hard when you are being
bombarded with manipulative garbage. Tell us what she's throwing at
you and we will give you a reality check or at least a chance to
vent ;)

Jo
