[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 106438, member: 3450"] Hi Star, I think true detachment with my difficult child 1 came for me when I realized, "hey, maybe she really is as bad as she acts. Maybe there is not a good, nice person deep inside, maybe she has no feelings, maybe she just is not a nice person." Somehow that was very freeing for me, I felt like I had taken the blinders off and could really accept her for who she was, good or bad. As it turned out, soon after I did that she started changing for the better (not that there necessarily was a connection!) Now I seem to have the kid back that I thought I had in the first place but somehow being able to take her at face value when she was at her worst did me a lot of good in the detaching department.
