[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 141769, member: 3072"] Yes, its hard to compliment difficult child but I do it as often as I can. I also make myself call her "hon" alot. I feel like a jerk for feeling the way I do but I get tired of being called names, getting swears thrown at me, and the physical aggression. I also know that due to her brain injury, she's really not connected to me in a real emotional way...just more of a dependency. So while she will say "I love you" if I'm making her macaroni and cheese, after she eats it, she could be screaming "FYouB****!!!" because I asked her to take a shower. She's not very predictable with the mood and on those days, complimenting her can be extremely difficult and sometimes it just doesn't happen. On the other days, its easier but I'm still worn out emotionally so even though I'm trying and saying the words, I don't know how much actual feeling I'm projecting or if it really even matters to her. I don't know if that made any sense [/QUOTE]
