[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 647078, member: 18516"] It sounds like you are doing all you can. This can be so exhausting when they continually try to engage you in a conversation that you don't want to have. My difficult child was really good at doing this with me. I learned to give very short answers like "I'm really sorry you are having such a tough time right now" I also learned to not give any advice. If I were to say something like "you really need to apply yourself" he would go off on me with the "ya, and how am I supposed to do that???" and on and on and on............... This made me chuckle!! I'm glad you have your sense of humor. ((HUGS)) to you. [/QUOTE]
