[QUOTE="4PawsSake, post: 627329, member: 17993"] I know we've all been through so much with our difficult child's, but, I just want to add this. While I know I need to be strong, tough, stern, I need to detach, reduce communication when required, I need to ignore, not give in, let go, let things happen as they will...I NEVER want this to harden me to a point that I'm always in "fight mode". I realize for some, it's what works, for me, I'd much prefer to stay somewhat soft. I like me the way I am. I'm gentle, a non confrontational type (although I know when to put my dukes up so to speak), I'm understanding, forgiving and kind. My son is all of these as well...I realize it's not HIM, it's the substance that comes between us and that's what keeps me from going out of my mind when dealing with him. Have a great day everyone!!
