[QUOTE="flachic, post: 34685, member: 3636"] Thanks...I realized I wanted to separate the 2 threads after I already had written on the first one. Forgive my newness...I'll figure this out as I go along!! Marg...thankyouthankyouthankyou. To top it off, my cousin has no children of her own...she's been unable to conceive, has been trying to adopt for a year, and it's a very sensitive issue. What about when difficult child spends time with-these people & they need some type of system? Once, during a road trip with-the cousin & I, difficult child got angry at his video game & yelled repeatedly at it...then got angry with-us (not violent, not even name-calling...just loud & obnoxious). My cousin called me later to 'follow up' on my consequences, saying that she felt something 'needed to be done', because that behavior shouldn't be allowed. After this situation, we had a huge gulf between us & she put up 'boundaries' because she couldn't handle the way I handled my difficult child. This is where I start feeling unsupported and it just sucks. The pressure becomes great & then I feel like I am not a good parent or I am doing the wrong things. Blah! That's how it feels!!! [/QUOTE]
