[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 586686, member: 3419"] Sounds familiar! Lol ... I don't think you're going to "win" this one. I would make it into a game. I remember, yrs ago, driving difficult child home from school, when he insisted that potatoes were wheat. (Some of you here may remember that.) Hey, at least he was talking and not kicking the doors, breaking CDs, or pulling my hair! Many people (incl the police who have come to our house, and a SW at the psychiatric hospital) have suggested that difficult child take a debate class. He hasn't taken one yet but he will ... The only thing that will stop it in its tracks is to change the subject. Like, slamming on the brakes and yelling, "OMG, did you see that pack of pteradactyls?!" Or, quietly saying, "I am so tired today. That kind of conversation hurts my feelings. I know you think it sounds strange, but I have to drive, and it's too hard to drive when I'm crying. Let's just be quiet for a while." Those types of things worked 90% of the time for me. The other 10% ... Lord help you. :kickme: [/QUOTE]
