[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 202347, member: 1436"] Often, when the drama ensues from the difficult children in our life, we tend to want to run, save them from themselves, even if it means giving up everything else. That's the parent in us---however, after years and years of enabling, I, too, was able to step back and realize the disservice I had done myself, my family, and most importantly, my difficult child. It has taken almost 2 years for him to realize that I will longer take responsibility for his actions. There used to be a list of responses to help you learn to react to your difficult children's crisises. Things like: I'm sorry to hear that. What are you going to do to change it? [/QUOTE]
