[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 138999, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=indigo]This made me think of all the parents of difficult child's who do not "get it" and continuously try to bend their non-conforming child to their will and cause themselves so much extra stress than if they learned a new way of parenting or accepting to a degree that which they cannot have control over.
