[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 631949, member: 4152"] Yep. I'm experienced with this, as my difficult child is in her mid twenties. Been doing that for awhile now. I was just ???? that this kind of xxxxx came up immediately after the wedding debacle. my friend gets it, and I hoped her husband was coming around a tiny bit. But some people are VERY unlikely to "get it" ever and I suppose if they are in a bad mood etc.might try to use it as a weapon against you. However, as we all know here, they don't have a clue and I am pretty much bullet proof against it. But, it did bother me that it came up right as we all were recuperating from the sensitivity about the wedding...that was difficult to straighten out and took a lot of maturity, courage and love. This came out of left field and came at a bad time. And maybe it is partially our fault as my friend (his wife) doesn't like it if we tell him the entire truth about difficult child and her "incidents." He is likely to misinterpret it as we aren't doing enough for her, we are gossiping about her, she has unkind parents...blah blah blah. It is a no win situation with him and my friend (his wife) prefers to tell him partial truths as she slowly works on him from the sidelines. However, on the good side, my friend and I got through a very difficult time and are moving forward....:) [/QUOTE]
