[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 646598, member: 17461"] I agree, too. For me, that is what detachment parenting means: to detach from the overwhelming hurt of the feeling, both the worry for your child and the self-condemnation in it for yourself as a parent and even, as a person. I can fall so far down.... I just don't want to see the ugly in the things that keep happening to all of us. Once is an accident. Twice or more and the things are being driven by an intention I don't understand and cannot find it in myself to know how to respond to. So, I take it out on me. Because I am the mother and somehow, I am supposed to know. But I don't know. So I break, instead. It's a lonely thing, parenting a difficult child child. They love differently, they see those they love differently, than we can understand. I think that is true. Cedar [/QUOTE]
