[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 637750, member: 17461"] Kathy, you are doing the right thing. Someone has to call an end to the insanity of repeating and repeating the same patterns. difficult child will up the ante. She has in the past; she wants you to know, she wants you to see it. I don't know why. Mine are the same. Because of the choices your child is making, there will be consequences, whatever you do or do not do. It could be that if you stay the course now, if you can be strong now, right from the beginning, your daughter will pull herself back from the edge. But I think she will not let you go so easily. *** Given that difficult child called three times as she was being discharged, I think this ~ this time to think and wonder what to do and wonder where she is and wonder whether you can go forward with what you said you would do ~ this time is a manipulation, a technique to soften and scare you. That is the pattern difficult child has set up. This is what she has done to you in the past. She is willing to go right to the edge to get you re-involved. She has done it, before. Lately, I have been trying to analyze my reactions so I know what the vulnerability, what the thing is, that pulls me into all of it, again. Hope. Cedar [/QUOTE]
