[QUOTE="branbran, post: 46061, member: 3762"] I agree "Thank you for sharing" sounds like a good response. I have found the angrier I get, the more empowered my difficult child beomes. The less I engage the better. I have found that allowing her to rope me in gives her a thrill and she'll keep on and keep on until the cows come home!!!!!!!!!!! It is very hard, I am so guilty of returning the compliments from time to time. After an hour or so - I LOSE IT!!!! More so in the begining, I have sort of trained myself to stay calm and try to either ignore her or say things like " Well, thank you". Adds much less salt to the wound and calms her much quicker. My difficult children thereapist tells me all the time, My daughter just doesn't have the ability to remember a consequence. So soap in the mouth never worked for me. She says she is too impulsive and wont think before she reacts, therefore there simply insn't enough time for her to remember that the last time she was disrespectful she got soap her mouth. Needless to say I have been cursed out many, many, many times. And many, many, many more to come. Oh - yay!!! It really stinks being battered by our children. And only parents like us would ever understand it. My friends who do not have difficult children just dont get it. I often feel as though they judge me. They dont empathize because they dont have a clue!!! I know what your going through. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
