[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 151124, member: 1498"] Adding to what MidwestMom said: [I]"My prior military background doesn't help because I'm used to instant willing obedience to orders."[/I] You need to get over the idea that a child is equal to an adult who chose to enter the military. [I]"And I know that it isn't his fault that his brain is wired wrong but he just doesn't get it."[/I] Do you expect that someone with a malfunctioning brain can control the malfuncting by sheer force of will? Do you expect that someone with a malfuncting pancreas can control the malfuncting by sheer force of will? Or a malfuncting heart? Of course not. [I]"My problem is that I antagonize him because he gets on my nerves." "He taunts me and calls me retard (he's the one with 3 F's), tells me to shut up when he doesn't get his way."[/I] You realize, of course, that the two of you are behaving exactly the same? [I]"He says all the time that I hate him and asks me to admit it. I won't do that even though my feelings for him are far from love."[/I] Your feelings about him must be obvious. Based on your writing, I've come to the same conclusion that he has. [/QUOTE]
