[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 596754, member: 13561"] Scent of Cedar, I think you're right about the way we handle our difficult children. I myself have NO boundaries, but I never really knew this until about two years ago. Even then, I didn't know how to make them. I should correct that-I DO have a couple, wobbly as they are, but have so many others that are apparently invisible, worthy of being peed on, or completely negotiable... As for feeling that I have failed my child, call me the Grand Poobah of THAT! That's when I know I am a control freak and am making it all about ME and how I want things to be. Didn't know THAT until recently, either! Despite this, I'm a pretty happy person, honestly quite optimistic about everything else. Though I'm sure that'd be classified as denial. (Sigh) Sometimes though I think, well so WHAT if I'm in denial? If THAT'S my coping mechanism and it gets me through the day, is that SO bad? [/QUOTE]
