[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 350930, member: 3907"] TM, your description is so very apt. I think in some ways our difficult children never reached the developmental stage where they realize they are separate beings, apart from us. They blow up, and say hateful things then feel better. Because they feel better, we should too. There's no differentiation between their feelings and ours, so they don't understand why we don't react well to their nicey nice behaviour after the blow-up. Sending many gentle hugs your way, Trinity [/QUOTE]
