[QUOTE="Steely, post: 71713, member: 3301"] I, also, think you did the right thing. I think the truth, can not hurt someone, unless used in a vindicative way. I think kt needs to see the truth in the cycle of abuse, so that she can start to see things objectively, and take responsibility, rather than the world being about her central, most immediate needs. My difficult child, who has huge abandonment/anxiety issues with his own father, gets really rageful when there is an impending visit with his dad. I have started just calling him on it every time it happens. "WOW, M, you are really feeling anxious about your Dad right now, huh?" Lately it seems to have stopped his cycle in it's path. Suddenly he is forced to be aware of his real angst and where his real discomfort is coming from, rather than projecting it onto me or his video game, or whatever.............. Take care.......how is your recovery going? And.....oh lordy......there is nothing worse than a difficult child meltdown when you are the phone!!!! [img]:mad:[/img] [/QUOTE]
