[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 654241, member: 17542"] Yep. Having the same thing happen over and over with your Difficult Child is part of the process of teaching you that your best efforts won't result in change in her. I think as a mom, we have to be shown: not once, not twice, but 1000 times. Before we are even partway ready to stop. We keep going back to the same well expecting different water to be there...but it's always the same water. husband and I have a joke about things changing, and it's about Cheetos. See, I know that most people really like Cheetos, but I don't. But every now and then, I try Cheetos again. To see if they've changed. But they haven't. I still don't like them. But a few months will go by, and I'll try them again. To see if they've changed. But they haven't. I still don't like them.....you get the picture. It's funny but it's not. It takes a long, long time for us to reach rock bottom on our enabling. Be patient with yourself. You are changing and learning with every single interaction. [/QUOTE]
