[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 539307, member: 11791"] And I'd rather deal with an outburst than a shutdown... but it depends I suppose on what the risk factors are. For us, outburst = still communicating = I can still reach difficult child somehow. Shutdown means there is lots going on behind those dark eyes, but I can't reach him, and that can be very dangerous. I NEED to be involved in the thought process. So... sometimes when he goes into shutdown, I have to manufacture a new crisis to get back to outburst mode. Patience? I'd have ZERO if it weren't for husband. I have no idea how any of you manage difficult children "solo". [/QUOTE]
