[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 663313, member: 17542"] IAD you are practicing the I am 51% he is 49% rule. When we can do that, I believe that is a very good day for us and for them. It is a complete mindset change for we parents about our adult children. It is a very healthy change for all. If you get a knot in your stomach about dealings with your Difficult Child that is a sign to pay attention to. An intense feeling of dread used to come over me when DCs name would flash up on my phone. That is a sign. It is valid to recognize. Feelings aren't facts but our feelings are our feelings. Also I believe most of us on this board have been touched with PTSD. We have been at war, in the thick of combat, for years. Living with this kind of dread and fear and not knowing is simply awful when the person who is in a terribly destructive pattern is the person we love so much. Of course he poo poos that. The best defense is a good offense. Don't worry we get it here. We're on your side. Hang tough. [/QUOTE]
