[QUOTE="totoro, post: 100734, member: 3155"] I channel my inner Dragonfly... that is what I call it. She is my doorway to the dreamworld. I have a tattoo of a dragonfly. I take a deep breath and think of her... fill my mind with calm... Use whatever you believe in... your own personal Jesus... Take a deep breath and let it fill you up... K was attacking me last night and I was alone with N, who has Croup, the puppy, who is trying to potty train. K was screaming, breaking things, at one point she took Indies KONG and hit me in the face... I took a deep breath and got down at her level, took hold of her and said "No, you will not hurt me or any one else in this house" I had to restrain her... she destroyed her room, I had to remove everything from her room, I calmly explained that I was not mad, but that I new when she was calm she would be sad if she broke anymore of her stuff. So it was gone for now until she could be calm for awhile. She stayed in her room and slept on her bare mattress with her blankets thrown on her... I took a deep breath... [/QUOTE]
