[QUOTE="Bean, post: 370731, member: 8620"] Yes, I do get antsy... irritated, jumpy. Hard to explain. I tell my husband it is like a gaping wound. Sometimes it is throbbing, sometimes it is healing, and then sometimes she comes along and rips the scab right off, followed by some salt. Maybe there's a bit of denial that comes along with the peace, rather than detachment. And then when the drama comes along again it's a slap in the face. Maybe it's mastering detachment a bit better? (I'm not really saying this for you, but thinking through my own process as I type this) I've gotten to where I'm almost more irritated when my difficult child is not stirring things up because I'm bracing myself for when she does. It's not healthy. [/QUOTE]
