"I'm sorry you feel that way. I had to call you those names, just like I had to lay into my granddaughter because she got on my nerves (she screamed at her through the airport b**ch, retard, brat, moron, punk, loser...). My granddaughter got over it (she didn't really) and so will you. People say things when they're mad, that's just the way it is. You told me 'my mother is dead' and 'nothing will kill you' are you forgetting that?" (I said those things in a different context as a reaction to her 'disowning' me and she is twisting my words)
Wow, zero personal responsibility for her actions and words. That's actually NOT the way it is, it's just the way she is. Whether or not she admits it to herself or to you, she is choosing to be that way. Controlling one's self isn't fun but that's what we do as adults. Attacking someone that annoys us or hurts us is a choice, plain and simple.
