[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 467299, member: 2211"] I agree with Lisa, our world is full of difficult children and we naturally gravitate towards one another. Because, believe it or not, for US, it's within our comfort zone-we know how to handle the difficult children of the world (well some of them). And they are attracted to us, often without being able to pinpoint the attracting trait. It could be in our eyes, filled with understanding or knowing. It could be our body language, ready to embrace. It could be in our smile or empathetic voice. This goes both ways-we may not be open to tolerating another difficult child in our life and we show this by closing ourselves off with clipped responses (or no response at all), averting our eyes, and/or holding a grim expression, thus, making ourselves, through facial expressions and body language unapproachable. I encounter people of all ages all over the place I'd probably classify as a difficult child. H thinks I have an invitation on my forehead! easy child is always asking me, "why do strangers always come up to and start telling you their life story...and why do you talk to them?!" lol. I guess it's our cross to bear for being the very special parents/guardians of very special difficult children? [/QUOTE]
