[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 690514, member: 17542"] Love everything you wrote here. On my refrigerator I have posted a page that has a bunch of alanon slogans on it. It's the only thing on my fridge so it stands out. One of them is: No is a complete sentence. That was a hard hard one for me, as I wanted to soften my No and explain it....I always have thrown a lot of words at things. So staying quiet, keeping it short, walking away...all were and still are behaviors in progress for me. But they work. They really do. Less is way way way more. The less we can say (they already know because we have already told them 1000 times), the better. Because then, they target what we just said, instead of dealing with themselves. The more they can deal with themselves...the better off they are and the better off we are. You did great, KSM. I mean really really great with all of that. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
