[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 91397, member: 3388"] Heather, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to get back to you until now. I read the others' responses and I agree with those that believe that it might help if you don't let yourself get wrapped up in the drama that she seems to like to create. Weeping Willow did a great job of explaining exactly how I feel too. difficult child 1 used to keep us up all night with his screaming if he had so much as a hangnail. Over the years, I've learned to acknowledge his pain and walk away. When there isn't an audience, difficult child 1 seems to calm down much faster. I think it is just in the nature of our difficult children to LOVE to create chaos. And, as others have said, they LOVE the attention they get from it. in my humble opinion, I don't really think it matters if the attention is positive or negative. As long as they're the center of attention, it's ok. I know how miserable it is when you have to deal with this sort of behavior constantly. From reading your posts, I know you are a great mother and love your difficult child very much. in my humble opinion, I think that deep down, difficult child knows this too. Just put on your [img]:warrior:[/img] and don't feel bad about walking away... Don't listen to difficult child's comments designed to draw you back into her drama by trying to make you feel guilty. I hope today is a much better day for you. WFEN [/QUOTE]
