[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 122496, member: 3413"] Hugs to you! I've certainly lost it, too. Just happened the other day for me when my difficult child was being so negative and rude that I couldn't take one...more...comment. So I shouted and even swore a little (proud mom moment - not). husband took over after that, and it was his calm words, not my explosion, that made a difference in difficult child's behavior. (Another good husband moment!) Nope, none of us is perfect. I heard a line somewhere, and I use it when I talk to my difficult child at times like this: "We're trying to be a family that..." (fill in the blank: "doesn't yell", "treats people with kindness," etc.) I like that line, because it says that we're all in this boat, we're all trying, and we're not perfect. [/QUOTE]
