[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 166122, member: 1157"] Stands, good for you. You've hit the nail on the head. I just have one comment, and it's on this: "I am powerless over worrying about him " Guess what? This is one of the things you ARE NOT powerless over.. .because this is about you. I'm not saying we can stop worrying completely, but you can take control over worrying about him becuase it is YOUR action, not HIS. Does that make sense? A good way to look at it is to simply say, "whose problem is this?" Your difficult child's actions and consequences? HIS problem. Nothing you can do. How you respond to his actions and consequences? YOUR problem. You CAN do something about that... change it! (very oversimplified, of course. It's a long process). :-) Good luck tonight. I hope you come away with tons of wisdom and support.
