[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 40179, member: 3353"] Well, the thing is that we are all decent people. Our difficult child children do things that are not decent. I think these things happen to us (the emergency move, the hanging up, the dog vomit in the house) because we literally do not have a clue how to respond to someone who behaves the way our difficult children routinely do. There was a time when the craziest things were happening at my house one morning and though we had already eaten (we had company at the time) I MADE BREAKFAST FOR difficult child AND SOMEONE I KNOW I WOULD NEVER HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH IN A MILLION YEARS ON MY OWN ~ LET ALONE HAVE HOSTED IN MY HOME. Mostly, when someone asks for help, we help them. Mostly, we are not the kind of people who expect help from others without repaying at least as much as we have taken. difficult children are very strange; it is very difficult to deal with one on a regular basis and maintain a sense of efficacy or self esteem. Barbara I am glad you went to the Bahamas! Good for you. I would never go with husband when there were problems with the kids. I wish now that I had, because my being there never changed anything even one iota. [/QUOTE]
