[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 8492, member: 3305"] LOL Karen...sounds like you are pretty darned good with self preservation. I admire that more and more these days. My natural temperment tends to lean toward the depressive/negative side when feeling attacked. In the past I have often turned it in on myself, blamed me in some way, or a cold unfeeling world, after such a scenerio. "If only I was a better mom, if only I tried harder to understand, if only I could love away and convince them of what is good", "if only if only" etc. My life, my very survival, was quite dependent on my sons (and others). That's a dangerous amount of power to give to my difficult child's or anyone. I truly did not know the difference between "self care and selfishness". progress not perfection...I have to give myself some wiggle room.
