[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 398295"] Nancy - I am so thinking of you tonight and hoping that 2011 will be better for you and all of us with difficult children. It is so impossible emotionally when they do that threats to hurt themselves thing. I think it is manipulation at its worst, mostly because it is impossible to totally ignore but also impossible and unhealthy to give in to. Last year my son did that number on his girlfriend.... he did not do it to us directly but I knew from gfs mother that he was making those threats to her. It of course put her in a bind, but us also because we didn't know how much of it was true and how much of it was him trying to manipulate her. A couple of trips to psychiatric units after overdosing I think made him think twice about making those threats.... Why oh why does he always have to go the tough road to learn lessons most people know from instinct? Anyway I am thinking of you and hoping peaceful thoughts for you tonight. [/QUOTE]
