[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 699182, member: 1631"] Welcome Target Practice. Glad you found us but sorry you needed to. How do I deal with my own feelings of hurt and resentment from my son. It's hard. My son will put me down, yell at me, etc... (it's much better than in the past) and used to be violent as well. I choose to be sure I am taking care of myself: for me that means exercising, reading, spending time with friends and alone time with my husband. This allows me to be in better form when dealing with him. I remind myself that he has a disability that is not his fault (this does not mean we don't hold him accountable for his actions). I also focus in on his good points. He has an incredible sense of humor and makes me laugh and he has shown so much progress that I focus on those things. Also I tend to try to tune it out as much as possible. I think I am only able to do this since it has gone on since I was a kid. It still hurts but I pull on my rhino skin and try to let most of it roll off. Sending gentle hugs your way. [/QUOTE]
