[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 113412, member: 4459"] Thanks for the responses everyone. The support is wonderful. I'm in the medical field. I don't know if it causes me to have more expectations of people and their illnesses/challenges or what. I'm also in recovery so I know what it's like to do something you don't really want to do but have to do for a long time that may be unhealthy and damaging to yourself. But due to those things I also know there's a way out if you choose to use the tools to do it. The real world - I so agree! I'm not doing my difficult child any favors by not doing everything it takes to stop violent and harmful behaviors - regardless of their source - in whatever ways are at my disposal. I am responsible for my actions, and hers to a degree, until such time as she's grown. I NEVER want to look into the face of another parent and apologize for my difficult child harming their child in some way. I don't want to have evacuation plans for my 9 yo difficult child who's so very innocent but has to live in a house where he's receiving threats to be killed in his sleep and assualted. He now insists on sleeping in the livingroom, as far from his sister as he can get and near a door, or sleeping with me on a particularly bad day, and he grinds his teeth in his sleep because he's so tense. NO ONE deserves that. So I'll definitely do whatever it takes. It is choice in so many ways. When it's not, we deal with that too. But responsibility for actions must always happen. I usually have a sense of humor about most of this stuff (perhaps to save my sanity) but seeing how she behaved in court yesterday was really disheartening. I'm sure you guys know where I'm coming from. Peaceful [/QUOTE]
