[QUOTE="Bean, post: 408655, member: 8620"] Gosh you guys are fantastic. For support, for shared experience, and for the slap in the face/butt kick I needed to hear. It still amazes me how "normal" our (ab)normal life becomes to me. I really do sometimes need someone else to remind me that these instances are NOT normal. It is even more confusing for us when there are ebbs and flows to her behavior. Her normalcy at times throws us off, and skews our perception of the situation, I think. In our case, the spitting really struck me as scary. I worry often that my daughter would do something to my parents. I think my parents have that concern now, at least my mother does. They've mentioned restraining order for her, and I think they probably should. It it completely correct that we should not have driven her. We were worn down, cornered and I think that's why we both just were looking at each other for a long time-- we were breaking our own rules and we knew it. I guess it gives me a better understanding of how my parents slip up so often. That is SO true. Thank you. Reinforcing this behavior of hers is not helpful to us, but also damaging to her. We need to continually remind her that it is unacceptable behavior. [/QUOTE]
