[QUOTE="Sickntired, post: 78335, member: 3848"] I can feel your pain. For some reason, they all have this trait in common. I am told on a daily basis (usually triggered by not getting his way or by being told no) that I am: A horrible parent. He can't stand to look at me. He hates me. Can't I see why no one likes me. Wishes I were dead. Wishes I were gone. Why don't I just leave and make everyone happy. Everything bad that happens to him is my fault. I'm stupid. and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on. I used to really be bothered by this. I would literally cry myself to sleep at night, worrying about it. It would hurt my feelings so bad I couldn't stand it. Then, over time, a miracle happend. My skin started getting thick and thicker and thicker. Now, It would take a pound of Crisco to soften it up. He can bombard away at me and it just bounces off. I have decided that it only hurts me if I allow it to. So I just let those words go. And before you know it, I will find a little note or some field flowers he has picked saying I'm the BEST MOM IN THE WORLD. Go figure, he hated me 30 minutes before. I have just decided they can't help it. They have an illness and like every illness, sometimes the symptoms just raise up and slap you in the face. Like being a diabetic. You can take medicine to control it, but sometimes, for whatever reason, that old diabetes monster rises up and throws your whole body off. I can't get mad at my husband when his diabetes goes whacko. I can make sure he eats properly, takes his medicine and do my part to help him control it, but sometimes it just happens. Should it? NO. But it does. I have saved every little note and withered flower. On really bad days, I look at them and remember the real difficult child, the one that doesn't show his face to often. Hope things go better soon. I truly understand how hurtful words can be. [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
