[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 126988, member: 1991"] Jen, yu said, "i didn't slam her, i carefully placed her head again wall...............lol......i know it's not funny i have a sick sense of humor i truly do. really though i didn't slam i did just grab which shouldnt' of even of happened. i agree with alot of what alot of you said." I know you didn't slam her - but I wrote it as a possible example of what SHE might say to her peer group, to big-note herself. These kids get their heads together and compare notes, each trying to make their own family situation sound worse than anyone else's. Then they say it often enough, it gives them bravado, they try to gain the upper hand and it has become a war, a conflict when it SHOULD be teamwork, you and she against the world. I think the others are right about you needing to get help for yourself. If for no other reason than the stress this is putting you under. I'm with you when it comes to medication - I just can't tolerate it, I get weird reactions and so I have to get help in other ways. I've had my times in the past when I wasn't coping, and I reached out at those times and got help. Where possible, I found a therapist to help me. Getting help for ME made it a lot easier to continue to hold things together appropriately for the kids. Hang in there. And I'm glad I could make you smile, sometimes a comic analogy can be the best way to get your sense of perspective back. Marg [/QUOTE]
