[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 134957, member: 393"] [COLOR=Sienna][B]ML, I have found days like this to be draining - you feel like you have no options but to sit down & have a good cry. That might be a good response for you at this time. I'd like to offer this to you - please don't take it the wrong way. It's a hard thing to accomplish. I found after 2 or 3 years of constant chaos & seeing my tweedles take control that I had to take that control back. I had to teach myself to react differently to my little "wonders" comments, behaviors & antics. The one that works the best is "excuse me - redo that". It stops kt in her tracks most days. For wm, "is that going to work for you - knock it off". Again it works most days that I see him. And there will be days when a good cry & a promise that tomorrow will be a different day. It took me a long time that it has to be my reaction, my response to kt & wm's behaviors & talk. I literally stood in front of the mirror & practiced my responses with that mother's evil eye. The only other people I've seen use this (in person) is my mother when she was alive & foster mum at group home where wm lives. I remember teaching to hold myself as tall as I could (I'm 5'2") with my shoulders held high & back. It's almost like becoming the alpha in a pack of dogs. I'm sorry you had such a rough time - hoping today goes better for you & yours. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
