[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 652753, member: 1157"] It [I]is [/I]hard not to react. It takes a lot of practice. One thing that helps me is to pay attention to what happens when I don't step into the chaos -- and plug it into my memory banks for the next time. I get a panicked phone call and don't respond - by the next day the crisis is forgotten in my kid's mind. I get a request for money and say no - the "want" either goes away, or money is found elsewhere. Next time your Difficult Child tries to pull you in, try to remember a time when you didn't react, and what happened. It might make it easier to stay out! [/QUOTE]
