[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 600472, member: 1721"] I wanted to add husband's take on difficult child daughter. Initially, he was so disgusted with what we learned she was doing ~ and the number and varieties of the whos she was doing it with. Here is a thing that happened. So, there had been multiple men "living" with difficult child. There would be huge fights (involving police) and the person would leave or be thrown out by someone bigger. Well, anyway. So, husband said, "I am so sick of those blankety blank blanks! I never want to hear another thing about another blankety blank blank again!" difficult child's response? "But Dad ~ the one I was talking about was black!" I mean, do you see the mental disconnect, there?!? We would be, like, "She said what? She said WHAT?!?" He was so shamed, so outraged, that his daughter was not who he had raised her to believe herself to be ~ whatever color the almost-too-numerous to count men were. But as we have gone through these months, Skotti, it was husband who came to a place to stand, first. Here is the thing. He is disgusted by difficult child's behavior? But he just snarls, "She MUST be nuts. That's my daughter." Period. End of discussion. Truly. End of discussion. That's my daughter. I'm sure your father felt the same. Barbara [/QUOTE]
