[QUOTE="DDD, post: 596237, member: 35"] Truthfully, I didn't understand "criers" OR "anger people". I never realized that others were not the same as I was. I cope and save the emotions for when I am alone. My husband and I married in 1976 and one of his daughters (obviously my SD of decades) cries when she is angry, or upset or happy. It drove me nuts! Some years ago I finally read that the people who cry are wired that way. I already knew that people with anger issues were hardwired. It still drives me nuts! My advice, for what it is worth...which is perhaps nothing..is that IF you are wired to be a crier learn to save it for times when you are alone. People like me (yeah, lol, I AM a good guy!) can't provide support easily to someone who cries easily. I'm not sure but I believe that your difficult child needs to see you as solidly supportive. Could I be wrong?? Absolutely! on the other hand with difficult child's "play acting" seems to help them adapt to the real world. Parenting difficult child's is the hardest job I've ever had but my difficult child's "never saw me sweat". I believe that gave them strength. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
