[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 490862"] Thanks for that Star. I am very sorry for taking what you and some others said the wrong way. I guess it just struck a nerve. As I was reading your first response, I didn't think it sounded like you but then Flutterby seemed to read it the same way so .... Oh well. No biggie. I have gotten a variety of responses with various perspectives. I put it in the Watercooler as a "conversation piece" because so many people have the same issue. It's nice to get the perspective from those who have "survived" or even "overcome" it. It gives me hope. From being here, I have become a stronger parent and more sure of what I am doing. I set absolute limits, did away with negotiating, follow through more quickly with consequences, and have learned to do things differently (and sometimes things that seemed weird to me at first). [B]I absolutely respect and love everyone here.[/B] This is my only link to sanity and my only source of hope when things are bad. Because it is written words (as opposed to a human voice), sometimes it is easier to interject our insecurities and personal feeling at that moment into the posts as we read them. Trappings of being human dealing with inescapable adversity. [/QUOTE]
