[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 653765, member: 1233"] I sometimes marvel at the depths to which a person will dive because they want everything to be their way and only their way with no compromise and no real comprehension of the very clear and obvious consequences of 'their way'. Your hubby can sleep because he knows that fretting and worrying will accomplish exactly nothing. He also knows that a good night's sleep makes everything better and gives him the resources to deal with whatever Difficult Child will do tomorrow in a more rational way. (Doesn't it make you want to smack your hubby when they do that while you cannot turn your brain off to get some sleep?:p) I am sorry your Difficult Child is such a jerk. That text was designed to guilt you into giving him what he wants without being so blatant as to actually threaten suicide (which would result in you calling the police and having him tracked down and sent to a hospital for a suicide watch, most likely). He wants to you feel sorry for him because he is cold and unhappy so that you will give him what he wants and to clean up the messes he makes (the physical, emotional and every other kind of messes) for him and you won't impose any consequence on him. It is pure manipulation. [/QUOTE]
