[QUOTE="Weary for Hope, post: 486014"] K, I know you weren't asking for my opinion, but I wanted to pipe in. First of all - I'm sorry! That is tough, I know. I have no answers, but an observation in my own situations where my son cussed at me. Boy, the first several times he did it - I WAS SO ANGRY!!!! It triggered something in me that nothing else had - really ****** me off. Then I remembered something a college friend had said - words only have the power that you give them. Once I was able to detach myself from a reaction to those words - ah...felt so much better. After all - don't they love to get a reaction? Maybe you don't have this problem - - there are many people out there who are calmer than me. But just something that I have learned along the way. By the way - my son and I had a TOUGH night and at one point he yelled, "SHUT your FACE!" at me. Boy, even though it wasn't a swear word, terribly disrepectbul and it stung. But it helped to make my decision to say no to something he really wanted that night. I'm sorry, but you cannot treat me that way and expect me to go out and do this thing for you that you were hoping. God give you peace and strength. [/QUOTE]
