Sounds a lot like my mom. "We support you, we support you" then in the next breath tears me down in a nasty, terrible way. It's kinda like they can't make up their minds. They say that they are there, but when it comes down to it, it's like they are only there out of obligation and that they really don't want to be there. Couldn't really be there in a supportive fashion even if they tried really hard. It's just, they have to be able to go around saying they did everything that they could to all their friends and anyone they talk to about it. They have to say that they were soooooo supportive an look where it got them. It's more about image with my parents and it sounds like yours too. ......

Ugh. Rant over.
