[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 507188, member: 11791"] Just an alternate perspective... It is so easy to look at one problem - in this case, interpersonal relationships - and wonder why our difficult child doesn't "get it". And yet... If in so many other areas of life, "you reap what you sow" does NOT hold true... - a difficult child can put in huge efforts, and get nothing back for that effort - any child can be highly gifted in some area, and put in way [I]less[/I] effort in comparison to what they get back. So... if you are a difficult child who tends toward black-and-white thinking... If the rule doesn't hold true in a dozen other areas of life, then WHY should it hold true with relationships? Our difficult child didn't "get it" WRT relationships, either... until... he got the kind of help he really needed and started having reasonable success at school... results roughly in line with effort.
