[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 558017, member: 9175"] I am one of three daughters (no difficult children among us) who grew up with loving parents, but with a particularly doting father. I have one child, a daughter, and for some insane reason...believed her dad would be at least a fraction as protective of her as my dad was of us. Not so. He loves her, but he is not at all protective. Sadly, she wanted and sought that kind of protection from him ... and acted out in all sorts of ways to get it (to no avail). In the meantime, I acted like a crazed banshee in trying to protect her...with very little success. If I'd had a son - difficult child or not - I would have been equally protective (I hope). I am working (thank you Families Anonymous) to detach from protecting her from those things "i cannot change". I steadfastly stand by her and offer protection "in the things I can" and work very, very, VERY hard "for the wisdom to know the difference." Dash [/QUOTE]
