[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 554046"] I used to tell difficult child 1 the same thing. I got so tired of him always saying he was sorry only to do the same thing again and again. Then I realized he was telling me the truth. He really WAS sorry when he was in the right frame of mind. I decided that I couldn't hold him to what he'd said in "the heat of the moment" because he truly couldn't help himself. Our lives have gotten much better when I stopped holding what he said during a rage against him once the rage stopped. It was VERY hard to do because he could say some of the most hurtful things imaginable but he only did it when he was raging/melting down. He NEVER said any of those things when he was calm so I knew it wasn't "him" saying those things. {{{HUGS}}} [/QUOTE]
