[QUOTE="Jena, post: 216749, member: 4514"] Ok, mission to begin on difficult child LOL. Thank you for the advice. it's a difficult barrier for me to cross, yet highly doable if in the end it makes her more functional. It's giong to be hard though, very hard. I've tried and it have been in small ways. Like when I'm trying Occupational Therapist (OT) talk to someone and she interrupts because she hates it when i speak to anyone but her. Lately I've been saying I'm talking right now, and you are being "rude" you need to wait until i'm finished or if it's truly important "blood, fire, flood LOL" you can politely use your words and say "excuse me mom" instead of that. I often find it difficult trying to find the fine lines of ok when is she truly melting down, or when is she manipulating me and being incredidbly needy? Ya know? Like yesterday I was on the phone for 5 minutes she was in shower i was in bathroom on phone and she got soap in her eyes. She went into full panic attack, it was so bad she got a full body rash from it. Iv'e never seen this before when i'm like hello 2 ft. away. So ofcourse I said i'm sorry i have to go now and hung up. I had to get into shower with her to calm her because she was soo soo out of control. [/QUOTE]
