[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 171546, member: 1498"] I wouldn't have let her have the keys to begin with. Had she literally grabbed them out of my hands, time would have stopped right there until I got them back. She wouldn't have kept them, we wouldn't have gone into the store until i got them back. She would have not been keeper of the keys. That gave her the power. If you don't give her the power to begin with, you don't have to struggle to get it back. It's interesting that this discussion is about keys. There's an old saying we use to hear in residental treatment about the only difference between them and us is who has the keys. How ironic and symbolic that this story about a power struggle focuses on who has the keys. [/QUOTE]
