[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 315884, member: 1550"] I've done this before and it worked well so I will recommend it to anyone who wants to use it. You don't have to get rid of her if you like her, but you do have to set boundaries. The result MAY be that she gets angry and leaves in a huff, but in my opinion you don't need her daily input. She doesn't get it. I have said to many people, "I've decided that the topic of my difficult child is off limits. I'm afraid that if you start to talk about it, I'll have to leave the room. I like you and will be happy to discuss anything else, but he's in treatment and I don't want to discuss this with anyone but his doctors." Be strict about it. I can't tell you how much grief it has saved me once the person realizes that I won't listen. [/QUOTE]
