[QUOTE="Dancerat, post: 608950, member: 14984"] Dear MWM, I think you are going down the same path decisions on this that I have decided to go down with difficult child's personal drama. I'm done with self sacrifice to be a better parent. At 20, I am done. My son keeps screwing up and sometimes I do nothing about it, because on that particular day, it would cause me too much stress to deal with it. Why should I sacrifice my personal peace and happiness for a day to get into power struggles, grief and arguments and drama to try and enforce rules? I've decided that if its going to cause this, I'm just going to ignore difficult child and his issues until I can choose my battlefield time. I just disengage and don't even think about it. In your particular case, I think disengaging is the best way to handle this. It's not personally affecting you financially or timewise, just emotionally, and that can be compartmentalized. On another note, I'm sorry you have to go through the stress diet, but I bet you look amazing. I'd love to be able to lose weight. I was always 127 until I hit 45 and then something happened and now I am at 174 (SUCKS!) and sadly, it's not thyroid. [/QUOTE]
