[QUOTE="Andy, post: 178522, member: 5096"] I don't think it is made up. I run across that from time to time with my difficult child. Being too loyal in inappropriate ways. People tend to gravitate toward the strongest feeling present. Anger is stronger than frustration. So if husband is angry and you are frustrated, difficult child will go with the anger and jump on board. Maybe partly to be part of the action? Last Spring my difficult child was angry at the other kids in school simply because they did not want to continue a game that I had suggested. I thought it was great that they tried it and when it didn't work that was fine with me. However, difficult child was ready to get revenge on the person that lead everyone back to the old game. He thought they were being disrespectful to me. (So, he can be disrespectful but no one else can be! hmmm) Your difficult child needs to work on letting go of other people's problems. He needs to trust that the other person can handle it himself. I think it would be wise to bring up the issue to the doctor. It sure is nice when we can actually pinpoint a problem area and put it in words to describe to the doctors. That is step number one! Let us know what the doctor suggests. [/QUOTE]
