[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 636196, member: 13561"] Echo I totally understand your feelings-it's like YOU have become someone you don't recognize because of that "Who hangs up on their homeless son?" introspection . I think it's such a self-protective mechanism that it becomes a reaction-like,"Nope, I DON'T want to deal with it". Even if they have good or happy news, it can just produce a hope that is so FLIMSY and fleeting that you don't want to take it on because it's PROBABLY going to get squished... Maybe you have had such a steady diet of BS that you need LOTS of time to regroup and difficult children, in their merry little way, operate on their own time schedule. So while you are still REELING, they have moved on to the next emotion, without any thoughts of how their previous actions could have affected you. Like, "I'm over it, why aren't YOU? " [/QUOTE]
