[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 397832, member: 6546"] Hex-- I think the first thing you need to do is give yourself permission to be really, really angry...and tell yourself that it's OK. Sometimes, by trying o rationalize our emotions (I KNOW I shouldn't be feeling this way...) we make it harder to get rid of those bad feelings. Second, you DO need to find an outlet. Many times, if I can't shake something - I will post it here. I find that I get responses that help me look it at from a different persepctive, make me laugh, or sometimes just let me know that I am not alone. It makes me feel better to hear that "Yes, difficult child is being a jerk"...and I'm not just going crazy making a mountain out of a molehill. And if you can get that anger moving outward, I think it will subside. It also helps if you can detach a bit and not take it so personally when difficult child acts up. Easier said than done sometimes - but necessary. Hang in there! (PS - I learned on another thread that we are neighbors! I live in the CSRA, too...) [/QUOTE]
