[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 477106"] I want to share with you what I did when difficult child 1 went through this "phase". I gave up trying to convince him and reason with him. I had him write down all the ways he expects me to show him I love him. I "explained" that I am doing what I think I should do to show womeone that I love them. I guess if it's not showing you that I love you, I must be doing something wrong so please tell me how to show you I love you. Then I took difficult child 1's list with me to the therapist (some of them were outrageous and others I was already doing). It gave the therapist an idea of difficult child 1's thinking. It also gave me a WRITTEN guideline to hold HIM to. I know, this sounds corny but it worked well with difficult child 1. I have a feeling if I ever have to try this tactic with difficult child 2, he won't be able to come up with a list because he will really think about it and realize I am already doing it all. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} [/QUOTE]
