[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 39795, member: 3450"] Hi, I think one of the keys is that you said when you are not mad at him you are mad at yourself for making him this way. To me that is where the crux of the matter lies. I found regarding my difficult child 2 that once I was able to stop blaming myself for the abuse she suffered from her sister it was a lot easier to actually feel sympathy and love for her and not be angry with her. I don't understand why I would be angry at her for something I considered my fault but that was how it seemed to work. Now I have let that go and just focus on how I can help her and be a good mom to her from this time on. Don't know if this makes any sense--I think Linda gave you good advice. I sure do feel for you--sounds like a horrible situation. Oh, my difficult child 1 was in a lock-down facility out in Utah--they aren't all awful, hers was really nice. She liked to brag that she was in a "number 3 lock-down facility"--guess it made her seem tough or something. Let us know how you fare, Jane [/QUOTE]
