[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 230811, member: 4085"] I'm not sure how relevant my thoughts will be now, this late in the thread but here goes ... Marg & I believe the REAL secret is make them happy with themselves. Don't deny their differences, get them to revel in them. Of course you have to make it an absolute that there is no violence. Violence is always Basket A. A person has an absolute right to feel safe at home even when there is a member of the household who may be dangerous at times. One thing easy child 2/difficult child 2 did was cultivate the belief that she was a practicing witch (she's not). She got so good at this this that most of the 'problems' in our area left her alone for fear of getting hexed. In fact the elders of our church came to us to counsel US about our daughter's satanic leanings - we set them straight on that score. difficult child 1 was a ninja, then a Sith Lord (a la Star Wars bad guy). Everyone who mattered to him thought he was 'kool', he didn't care about the rest. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
