[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 248529, member: 3208"] Hi, I don't find anyone here annoying, some I relate to better than others, but I think everyone here has something worthwhile to say. Often I get the best advice when I am reading responses to someone else's post so even if Stands isn't seeming to make progress the responses to her posts are helpful to me to help me keep my boundaries in place with my own difficult child. Also, sometimes tough love is the best love. My difficult child had a therapist who was pretty useless but one thing she did tell me that I have often thought about was that I had to "step up to the plate." I was on the phone with her crying and saying how I couldn't handle my difficult child and she gave me no sympathy--told me I had no choice, I had to step up to the plate. I hated her at that moment but it was what I needed to hear and helped me get through those teenage years. Jane [/QUOTE]
