[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 618066, member: 17269"] Recovering, it is funny you say that...I have recently found (and noted on other threads) that I can't bring myself to talk to my difficult child...havent spoken to him since he got of jail on New Year's Eve and immediately, with no concern whatsoever, reneged on all his promises and plans...in any case, I won't take his calls so he calls my SO...and my SO always says (when difficult child asks for something).."I'm not sure about that, why don't you call back tomorrow." He never commits on the spot. And funnily enough..it makes me squirm and mad! I feel like it is rude, like we MUST respond to difficult child's questions RIGHT AWAY. I am trying to get past that squirming, that pressure in my own head. Funny that you recommend that as a way of managing. I'm not there yet. I have to let SO do it for me. [/QUOTE]
