[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 285390, member: 6705"] Beth... Just an idea... Sometimes I have problems with husband and his computer too. So what I did was I sat down with him and told him, look, this reminds me of the behavior of XH - I know it's your escape - what can we do to work this stuff out? So, now, when he gets wrapped up (or I do, with other stuff), we gently tell each other, hey, you're withdrawing again... Let's go do something. Anything. Last Friday when I mentioned this, difficult child 1 said, "Let's play a game! All of us." Sounded like a good idea, so we played Monopoly. Let me tell you - difficult child 2 is [I]brilliant[/I] at Monopoly. difficult child 2 was right behind him. husband and I - not so good. But you know what? We didn't care. It was family time.
