[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 639041, member: 17461"] AND THEN THERE WAS FACEBOOK :O) *** Given that we've been posting, here on the site, about the shocking things our difficult children tend to post, I couldn't resist that FB comment. But the truth is that I was amazed at the way you so beautifully expressed the heart of the issue of parenting a difficult child without blaming or defending or searching for redemption. "For the dysfunction we were and are experiencing...." There is no blame in that phrase and yet, it names what is happening and enables me to see it all from a different perspective altogether, a perspective where there is no need to blame anyone or to endlessly plum the depths of spirit to learn how it happened or to figure out how to respond. The silent struggle, the determination to resolve it within the family...a perfectly balanced, simply stated observation that describes exactly what this has been like for me. A beautiful posting. Thank you so much. Cedar [/QUOTE]
