[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 65514, member: 1991"] I do think a very important defence against kids like this - do not feel embarrassed by anything they do or say. Switch it off - if you feel you need to explain, tell them he's got a medical condition. Similarly, do not take on board anything hurtful he says to you. Switch it off. Maybe admire his ingenuity and desperation in trying to get a reaction out of you, but stop reacting with horror or distress, because all this does is show him like a lit signpost your most vulnerable spots. Keep holding on to this thought - he attacks you the worst because deep down he knows you love him the most and he feels safest with you. Marg [/QUOTE]
