[QUOTE="Steely, post: 253357, member: 3301"] Sue, I think you are right. Perhaps our guard will never be down, completely. We have been conditioned to deflect the abuse. Maybe I just need to tell difficult child that I am defensive and irritable because of the past - instead of pretending like everything is fine, just because he is fine (at this moment). However, it seems like that would crush him - because he is trying so hard right now. He is trying with every ounce of his soul to make his life work - that it seems almost cruel for me to come in and remind him that I will never feel peace around him because of all the past inflictions he has caused.
