[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 40186, member: 1436"] "I did this with my easy child, but with difficult child her reactions to everything were so intense and it was such a long time before she was diagnosed that we over reacted along with her so I don't think we ever really taught her to 'get a grip', if you will." That's it! Thanks for giving me a piece of the puzzle I've been missing. I have tried for years to "soften" the blow for difficult child. I've always allowed him to suffer the consequences, but then tried to console him when he did. At 19 he still expects that mom---she has moved on and detached. But...now I see what my role was in all of this madness that he has lived! [/QUOTE]
