[QUOTE="MrMike, post: 609921, member: 16687"] Thanks everyone for your comments, nice to speak with you all again. What a cool group of people you all are. Wish we lived close enough to each other so we could have a get-together and have some laughs about our difficult child's. That would be a hoot. RE, your comment about how your difficult child "sucking all the air out of the room" really hit home. It is so true. I wonder/marvel at why they have that effect. They really and truly do create an atmosphere like no other. And you're right, you can't relax. You can't breathe. I just am stunned by the similarity of all our experiences here on this site with our difficult children. I wonder what it is about them that has that effect on everyone around them. I know with mine, it is his agression and lack of empathy for people around him. It's like the normal govenor people have on their ego's that keeps them from becoming a total dictator is missing in him. He's actually always been that way since he was little. You needed to put a brick wall in front of him in order to communicate the idea of "No" to him. At the time, I thought it was just that he was a strong-willed child. But now I realize that was probably part of the abnormal wiring of his brain that has driven his present-day condition. But yeah RE, you hit the nail right on the head. They take the air right out of the room. Weird, Sad, Scary, but true. [/QUOTE]
