[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282592, member: 84"] Backing off is simply keeping your mouth shut and sitting on your hands. At least for me it is. It does not however stop the fury. It just prevents you from interfering when you shouldn't. If it's really bad, I clean. It's a distinct type of cleaning, too. Makes my kids run for cover. lol As irrational as it probably is, with this college thing with Travis.......I want to tell him he can't go, I want to tell him every possible horror story that is popping into my head when I think of him going off to college and a big city [B]alone[/B]. I want to shake him til his head rattles and ask him what in hades is he [B][I]thinking[/I][/B]?? Instead I'm keeping my mouth shut and sitting on my hands. Twice last week I did that type of cleaning. My kids scattered and I never did have to explain to them why I was cleaning like that. lol With practice, I'm getting better. I'm also going to win an Oscar soon for my acting. sigh I've always had an overactive maternal instinct, maybe you do too. If it's a real honest complaint, where difficult child could've been in danger ect, he should have a patient's bill of rights that tells him the process to file a compaint. Let HIM file the complaint and go thru the process. Odds are he won't believe it's important enough. If it is , he'll do it. But you'll find what makes us go into warrior Mom overdrive often doesn't even phase them in any real sense. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
