[QUOTE="Steely, post: 100716, member: 3301"] You know, Fran, I am wondering if that is not exactly it. I [I]do[/I] have a huge need to be right - because I am panicked that if he does not start viewing what I say as correct, he is going to end up in a gutter or jail. My fear is fueling my anger, or the need to make my point, or be "right". Hmmmmppppppppffffffffff :wink: So, if I accept the fact he may not learn anything from his meltdown, OR my reprimand, lecture, and consequence - there is little need for me to become indignant or become filled with theatrics while in the middle of it. There is no reason "to argue my point", right? He will either learn it, or he won't, and I need to accept that he may not. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
