[QUOTE="DDD, post: 461081, member: 35"] So much depends on the exact situation and the pattern of communication. If I recall you have said that your neice often did have "good days" or "parts of days". Those calm moments would be when I might say something short and sweet. "I want you to know I feel badly that I lost my temper the other day. It was a poor choice and I'll try not to respond that way again." Period. No details of what was said or done that triggered the response. BUT each of us has to chart our own course based on the specific situation and our own personalities. All of us parenting difficult child's wish there was a simple manual that we could use to look up "the" answers. Sigh! I'm glad your Mom joined in. DDD [/QUOTE]
