[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 86078, member: 1233"] Karen, count me in as another one. I do have my fair share of Aspie so sometimes I can rely on the "rules" instead of pelasing others. I learned how to do this years ago, but some days I am not so good at it. I do appreciate the post, it makes me think of what I need to work on, and what skills I want my kids to have. (The kids should please ME, not the other way around!!!) I know where lots of my roots lay, and that I found a lot of help in AL-Anon Adult Child literature and meetings (those Adult Child meetings more than reg alanon, but all of allanon was helpful, just to different degrees. I felt wierd going, but mostly because I am an Adult GrandChild - we don't exactly have separate meetings, just Adult Child ones in my area). I find a lot of different things help. They are pretty much unique to each of us. You will find what works for you. Remember, part of the deal is PICKING who you please, you can't please everyone at once. Oh, and Karen, YOU are a person who deserves pleasing also!!! Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
