[QUOTE="MagooGirl, post: 129860, member: 4684"] ---don't ya' just hate those nights when, after a string of really pleasant days with difficult child, you drop your guard just a tad (even though you know better) and WHAMMO..... you can't even utter half a syllable without difficult child arguing, correcting, pulling faces, rolling eyes, etc. etc. Don't misunderstand, I'm thankful that it's 'only' verbal opposition/arguing/etc. - especially in respect to so many here who are struggling full-throttle with such difficult things (difficult child's running away, violence, addiction, Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s, etc). I know our lives involve defining a 'new normal' as a matter of course. But sometimes, after a stretch of really nice days - ya' know, those days where you can put your arm around your difficult child and realize you not only love them, but you actually like them - during those times I start to feel hopeful. And then some magic switch gets flipped and "surprise!!" Tonight we couldn't even watch a program together as difficult child argued with every third thing uttered from the narrator's mouth!!! *deep breath....okay, maybe another deep breath...* Right, back to the battlefield I go........(thanks for letting me ramble) ~lisa [/QUOTE]
