[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 350968, member: 1991"] Taking on board what the therapist has said about difficult child being too dependent on you, I'm wondering if difficult child is simply hurting at you because she wants you to pull a rabbit out of a hat and make all the bad feelings go away, make it all better permanently. The trouble is, she is growing up (allegedly) and tis brings personal responsibility. But she is not making that leap to taking any personal control, she is trying to force you into allowing her to continue being a baby who needs to be spoonfed. But at some level, she also wants autonomy. How do you make someone understand that it's time to learn some independence and self-control? Marg [/QUOTE]
