[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 95071, member: 1991"] I think Heather said it well - if he were sorry, he would learn to not keep saying it. I went through this with difficult child 3, he can still rage sometimes but is now a bit more rational with it. But when he would say horrible things and later say sorry, I never just accepted it, I would say, "Saying sorry doesn't take the pain away that you caused. Some words are very difficult to take back because they've already hurt. It was silly to say what you did, because now you regret it. It is much better to not say it, than to say it and then later say sorry." I would also sometimes add, "I accept the apology because I love you, but also because I love you I'm still hurting."
