[QUOTE="totoro, post: 281247, member: 3155"] Well difficult child sounds like she is doing well! Tennis, that is awesome! Does she wear a black tennis outfit? That is what i would have done at her age. LOL Sounds like easy child needed to hear it from Mom. I hope he finishes his hours and gets it done. It hoovers when we don't see that friend is taking advantage of us, but others can. Usually a self esteem issues. I did that at times as a young adult. The BiPolar (BP) thing is so hard, we are trying to push K to be accountable for herself regardless of her stability, even though she is only almost 8, but we are building up for the future. It is such a fine line of how much to push her? How much can she take? She is not good at manipulation yet, but I am sure it is easy to fall into as one gets older. I do it jokingly to husband, but I honestly don't want my instability to be a part of my failings. or the reasons for my failings, even if it is at times. Or even the feelings of failure. I want K to realize she is better than her worst parts of mental illness and she can be the best parts of it if she can learn to control it and see it. But she has to want it. difficult child 2 has to get to this point... but how? he doesn't realize how lucky he is to have met you [/QUOTE]
