[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 759340, member: 24721"] Dear Overcome Mom, I’m sorry this was how your Christmas turned out. It can be tricky when we react differently or process things differently to our partners. Dealing with kids like ours is such a difficult thing and at times we will be in a different head space to our partners. Maybe you could talk to your husband about your feelings at a time when things are calm, maybe explain about what you’ve been reading and how it’s helped you. I have found “detaching with love” has helped me to cope and actually improved my relationship with my son. Now that I have stopped enabling him, he is actually doing better. Of course I know things will never be perfect. It will never be “over” because he has mental health issues that he chooses not to treat, but for now things are stable and I’m doing okay. (Not that I don’t have my moments!) I read a similar book to the one you described, which you might like. It helped me a lot. I’ll try to find the name of it and post that for you ASAP. [/QUOTE]
