[QUOTE="donna723, post: 175760, member: 1883"] Linda, it sounds like you've got the situation well in hand. Maybe this is the time to let KT be more in charge, let [I]her[/I] be the caretaker. She's a very smart, very resourceful girl and you have taught her well - she's already making whole meals - that's more than a lot of girls her age are capable of doing. She may very well step up to the plate and surprise you! And doing for others sometimes brings us out of ourselves and our own fears and insecurities. Instead of being part of the "problem", let her be part of the "solution". And I know she's not the typical kid, but sooner or later they all have to learn that adults, even parents, are not infallible and that even parents sometimes do dumb, boneheaded, selfish things that they later regret. Realizing that your parents aren't perfect and are only human just like everybody else is a very hard lesson to learn but one we all eventually have to get through. When this all blows over (and I hope and pray that it will) I hope your husband sits down and has a very serious reassuring talk with Ms. KT. Please keep us updated on how your weekend is going. I will be thinking of you all ... [/QUOTE]
