[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 70289, member: 3419"] Heather {{{hugs}}} You were right to tell your son that it is not your job to make him feel good. It never was to begin with, no matter what his diagnosis is. What we as parents can do it to help teach our kids to make themselves feel good, to give them the tools. You have certainly done that. You are absolutely right that this is about you, as it should be. You're sick with-heart problems. And you know what? Sick people can make rules, too. From now on, it's his job to change the litterbox, run the dishwasher, and do anything else you need done. He gets no privileges if he doesn't. Tell him that he does not have to feel sorry for you but he does have to respect your rules. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
