[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 510769, member: 13882"] Sometimes I read some of the posts on the SA Forum out loud to my husband. We're always trying to learn something about how we should approach our situation. When we read these posts sometimes, particularly about difficult child behavior, which we're personally experiencing in our own home, we occasionally just crack up. It's sad, but also sometimes weirdly funny. husband and I have known each other and each other's parents since we were kids ourselves, and both our sets of parents were old school strict, but oddly hands-off if you know what I mean. They never said much; didn't have to. Our parents would have been dipped in s**t before they'd take the kind of abuse we get from our difficult children. The nuns in our school would have whooped our butts if we acted out in school. No arguments, no pleading, no IEPs, no losing sleep on their part. I mentioned this to our son's psychiatrist once, because I just couldn't fathom our "working through" the level of emotional blackmail we had to deal with, and he just laughed and said it's a different world these days. Sure is. That's my .02! [/QUOTE]
