[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 265633, member: 3450"] I've had to struggle with this too and am doing better. I guess one thing that sort of helps is that I know it is better for difficult child if I don't "go there" with her. She needs a very stable, steady mom to support her through her ups and downs. I know for myself it doesn't help me if I am feeling depressed and then my husband goes there with me. It is better for me if he can just maintain his mood. Of course, you are also talking about your mood being set for the day by difficult child's mood and they may not be even seeing you. I think I have found that once I get to work I am able to let the mood go--I sort of forget about difficult child, which is a nice escape! I think it is a very difficult thing to not let our difficult children' moods influence our own. All we can do is be conscious of it and try to find ways around it. Jane [/QUOTE]
