[QUOTE="Shari, post: 183984, member: 1848"] Welcome. Ditto Beth. In a nutshell, that's my story, too. lol The Explosive Child gave me the mindset to, for the first time, have at least some impact on my son. I beleive in the archives is a wonderfully written little summary of the book with adaptations for younger kids. Its a different way to think, but it really has been the biggest impact we've had so far in parenting my son. As far as talking to friends, its very, VERY hard, in my humble opinion, to find friends who don't have difficult child's that will even attempt to understand life with a difficult child. I have given up. With my "easy child parent only" friends, I talk baseball, dance class, and "how's the weather" stuff. I only talk about difficult child's with parents of difficult child's or my best friend, who was around my first difficult child enuf to know she [I]didn't[/I] know what difficult child life was like - and who can't truly understand, but tries and cares. Sorry you had to find us, but welcome to the group. [/QUOTE]
