[QUOTE="Suz, post: 39243, member: 29"] I seem to go in cycles, RM. I'll be good- detached- the PERFECT MOM- for awhile....then something triggers the Billy Graham in me, too. It's not a pretty picture because the more I talk the more wound up I get and, well, you get the idea [img]:hammer:[/img] . It's based on sheer frustration. There is no other explanation. We are so struck between a rock and a hard place with our kids. We can't be too encouraging because (1) they usually don't deserve it, and (2) they will do whatever they can to prove us wrong. And we can't be too negative or the conversation completely disintegrates. I have no advice, just sympathy, and a suggestion to post those responses from our archives next to your phone. That helped me so much when Rob was in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and group home. I think I need to put them by the phone again. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
