[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 141781, member: 2211"] Thanks ladies. I see that I'm pretty much in the same boat as most of us. I also have pet names that I call difficult child, such as "bean" and "hon" and I never hang up without telling her "I love you". I buy her some of her favorite foods to have on hand and special items I know she will like, etc. I do all that - that's not what I'm talking about so much. MB, I think you hit right on it. It's about finding at least one nice thing to say to someone each day. I'm ordinarily like that in my everyday life with everyone. I mean, I try. It's just with difficult child, it's becoming more and more difficult to do so. And then I am upset by the missed opportunity to lift her up rather than do nothing OR make her feel worse. I feel spent. Thanks for your responses. [/QUOTE]
