[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 534942, member: 14557"] It is odd what a roller-coaster of feelings difficult child can put me through. And without even trying. At least I don't think he plans all this just to torture me (though, there were days in past I did half seriously think if he did it on purpose.) Okay, he has this power over me because I love him so much. But I love my easy child the same and also husband almost as much as my boys and they never make me go up and down like difficult child. And the thing that made me think about what a roller-coaster this is has absolutely nothing to do with difficult child. It was just that something very tragic happened locally. In the town very similar to my difficult child's home town and a kid, who had a lot common with my difficult child, got killed. And hearing that news just rattled me awfully. My kid was safe hundred miles away from this place there this happened, but I still feel very strongly that it could had been my difficult child just as easily. And so in three days I have gone from happy and hopeful to very miffed to just wanting to get my kid and hide him from the big bad world. :sigh: And in reality all I can do is to watch from sidelines, try to guide him a little bit and pray. And that is so very, very hard! Maybe best I can do is to try to concentrate on positives and praise and encourage that. Getting miffed probably doesn't help at all. [/QUOTE]
