[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 283705, member: 1157"] When I used to lament that my girls acted out for me, and not their dad when they visited him, a counselor told me that it was because they felt safe with me. My dad once sent me an article about "I hate you." It was about not letting those three words get to you because if your kids' said them, it meant you were giving them healthy boundaries. They were supposed to hate you for that. (ha.. and I remember saying that to my dad when I was a teenager!) I tried hard to keep those things in mind during the many many battles in the later years! It's never easy .. but I think almost all of us have been there. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
