[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 239927, member: 6546"] Hello-- I often find myself "blue in the face", too...and for me, I know that I keep talking because I don't feel as though I've been acknowledged. For example, if I find that husband or DS have done something that upsets me, I will tell them. If they respond with an "[I]O, I'm sorry...It won't happen again[/I]."--then the conversation is over. With my difficult child, I never get that admission. I get an argument about why I am wrong--why it couldn't have been her--why I am such a B***--why it's a dumb thing to be upset about in the first place--etc. etc. etc. And so I keep talking, explaining, reasoning, demostrating, lecturing--even though it's useless. So, I guess the trick is to figure out how to just "drop it" when she refuses to accept responsibility or respond in a more mature manner than "[I]Not me! I didn't do it[/I]!". I know, [I]detach...detach...detach[/I]... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
