[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 125207, member: 1587"] Oh Pamela, Hugs for your weary soul. :( I think you did fine....I probably would not have shut the door though. At times I could just shut out difficult child, continue to speak calmly to him, and the bluster would go out of him.....at times. Didn't work always but sometimes it did. When he would see that he couldn't get a rise out of me he would chill....sometimes. :) My difficult child would gain power from my reactions...sad as that sounds it is the truth and when I took that power away he didn't know how to handle it. :) It is a learning process and believe me I know how painful it is. More hugs. [/QUOTE]
