Lancelink-
Elders have been trained at manipulation. It's a century in the making. Depending on the brothers, they may take a hint and back off, so they can tell the CO that they tried. Or they may not take 'no' for an answer and be very confrontational and argumentative.
At this point, you still have choices:
- Blow them off. Don't be home and avoid them from here on out. You will have to watch your back for unexpected calls.
- Cancel and avoid reschedule.
- Meet with them and be prepared to tell them 'no thanks' and be prepared to argue if they get unpleasant. Plenty of issues. Let us know which one you pick.
- Meet with them, let them control you. Say 'yes, I need to do better'. Then don't do any better.
- Meet with them, be reactivated, and wait for the big A that's sooooooooooooooo close.
Choose Wisely...
