They always try to say sorry but their actions don't reflect their words. If you are truly "sorry" for something you have done then you try to not make the same mistakes over and over. That is the nature of this viscious cycle of emotional abuse. It's like living with Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde! and you never know from one minute to the next which one you will be dealing with.

OMG - I just saw your post, Hyde Park NY

Your post just reminded me of how my mother used to take me to the Vanderbilt Mansion and FDR's home both in Hyde Park, NY ALL THE TIME when I was growing up. I did a couple of book reports on FDR too.

I didn't care for the golden-looking Vanderbilt Mansion (hey, I was a kid...*lol*) but I loved FDR's home. I remember the leash of Fala (his dog) laying across his bed...I had to be 6 to 14 years old when these trips occurred. Mother also then took me to the Catskill Game Farm where we fed animals and I don't think many were caged, or my memory is failing on that.

Just brought back my past and where I grew up...... Thanks for that!!

And now I'm turning on my TIVO'd Anderson Cooper *grins*....for those who might not know, Gloria Vanderbilt is Anderson's Mom.....
