[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 728133, member: 18516"] I think there are some very good tip in the article but what works for one does not always work for another. We can become so exhausted in dealing with our difficult adult children that we simply have nothing left to give and desperately need to step away and recharge ourselves and that can take some time. I also think for some, the heartbreak and distrust can be so deep that communication just may not be possible. The article is titled [I]Constructive Communication[/I] but when you have a child that is bent on destruction it's that much more difficult to be constructive. For me, I've learned with my son to keep my answers short. I also have to be careful in engaging into conversation with him because he likes to set traps and bait me into an argument. Again, some good tips, just may not work for everyone. [/QUOTE]
