[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 275089, member: 84"] (((hugs))) Hoovers majorly. I dunno. I wish I had the answers. I have one thing that usually works.......don't know if it will here though. It's part detachment, part shut down survival mode I guess you'd say. I don't acknowledge them, I don't speak to them, I do nothing for them, they become an un-person to me. They get no warning. It just [B]is[/B]. This is a very rare thing. So my kids know when this happens...........They've pushed dear ol' Mom beyond her limits. They might test it a bit to see if they can get a rise out of me......but they get nothing. Usually, as I said, this works. It makes them stop and think about their behavior and what they're doing and they snap out of it. Odd. The only child I haven't been pushed to that point with has been Travis. [/QUOTE]
