[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 13018, member: 696"] I pretty much agree with OTE. Problem is that's they way I feel now. I did allow my difficult children to rant and rave and behave inappropriately to me. Why? because for the most part I figured difficult child 1 was mentally ill and couldn't help himself. This was flawed thinking on my part though. As I reviewed the "power of control" I soon realized that difficult child 1 was doing to me whatever I allowed. difficult child 1 certainly wouldn't do that to the checkout person at the grocery store, or an employer, or a total stranger. He did it to me because I allowed it. Once I started to end the conversation or walk away from his tirades, he would apologize, and begin to ask his request and give reasons why. I'm a pushover...I know. [img]:blush:[/img] Now I'm much stronger [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
