[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 625624, member: 17461"] You sound like you are in a good place with this move home, dstc. The hardest thing is learning to keep our own center intact when we interact with our difficult child kids. Like all moms, we are fascinated with our children, are so vulnerable to and through them. difficult child kids just seem to take all that in and use it to use us. Maybe that is why detaching from the emotional components where our difficult children are involved brings a better outcome for them? It would be nice to learn how to love my difficult children without suspicion. Maybe that is a good definition of detachment. Learning to make it impossible for our difficult children to use us so they can finally grow into the adults we know darn well are in there. Under all those incredible manipulatory skills they seem to have developed at the speed of light. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
