[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 426679"] This is LOVELY. It REALLY irks me (although I don't always show it) how so many of our difficult children blow off this day or WORSE are miserable human beings this day. Of course, on some level, it is good to understand that they are suffering. And it is probably best to remain as unemotional as possible about it [B]ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF THEM. [/B] However, do NOT put up with any abuse. One thing we have done and it has worked well, is if our difficult child is in abuse mode....she is quickly shown the door. If it is the phone, we get off super duper asap/pronto! She knows this and it has been mucho better. I DO SO LOVE THE IDEA of developing new traditions...ones that are likely to involves spouses, other relatives and good friends that love and care for us. I was blessed with- a good Mother's Day...difficult child made me a card that was very nice. I spent a lot of time with- our son and daughter in law. difficult child called me first thing in the morning and was very appropriate. All went well...whew! husband got me some nice candles that I love! (He's awesome...I so appreciate him!!! ) Anyway, life is good. Sometimes, we just have to take a slightly different road to find it. [/QUOTE]
