[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 600308, member: 1721"] No, blackgnat, I don't think it ever gets easier. But you will get stronger. You are doing the right thing. Maybe you could set a time limit for yourself. This week, you can take some time away from all of it, just to see how difficult child does. You can expect that he will up the ante. You are teaching him new rules. He won't like that. He is used to you bending to his will. This has not helped him to be stronger in the past, blackgnat. Try this new thing, this new way of being with your son. You can always go back to the old way. That is what he wants, and what he expects you to do. Just try this for a little while, blackgnat. We are all right here. We get it. Post about his responses, about your feelings. Think of all the wonderful responses you have received, just today blackgnat. We are right here. Barbara [/QUOTE]
