[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631022, member: 17542"] Amelia, most of us here are fixers too. I was a great fixer! (or so I thought!) for years, for my kids, my friends and it's a great quality in business. Give me a problem, and I'll fix it! But it really doesn't work with people. We can't fix them and they can't fix us. I think it's great to suggest a geographic change. If she goes, it could make an impact and change the course of what comes next. A few years back, difficult child and I went to Europe with a tour group. I thought just seeing the big world and all of its greatness would surely expand his mind. He didn't want to go on the trip (who would not want to go to Europe, all expenses paid, I ask you???) but I coerced him and manipulated him into going and so we went, and we had some good moments. It didn't "do the trick" but I am still glad we had the time together. [/QUOTE]
