[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 147763"] I apologize ahead of time for the way I'm going to start my answer: Ya know, in some ways I think it is "simple," and yet in some ways I think it is complex. And on some days I think it is harder than other days and for some people it is harder than for others. I know for my husband, whose mom was a difficult child, he rarely, if ever has depression. Even when difficult child is acting out, he does well. I had a difficult child father, but when difficult child came into my life, it really threw me in a major way. To help myself, I have observed husband and have picked up on some of his skills. Generally, I think having a healthy self esteem is key to being positive. This is not always easy, when some of us have had nonsense drilled into us from childhood or when current things are going haywire. So, it all starts with understanding that we are worthy individuals. And that with effort (action), things often go well or at least there is hope for improvement. This is for our own personal welfare. We can't control the actions of others. For that, the Serenity Prayer goes along way! [/QUOTE]
