[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 404239"] Of course she didn't answer. If it were an abusive husband you would be counseled to walk away and that you deserve better. When it's an abusive child we are expected to take them in hand and lead them off to the promised land of better behavior. I'm sorry, but for some difficult children, that place just does not exist. I know that my mother in law, on more than one occasion, has made it very clear that she thinks that difficult child behaves the way he does because of me. It's all my fault. It's the way I parent him. Of course, she doesn't bother to remember that her son parents this child too, so if it's my fault why isn't it his fault as well? Honestly, for the most part I have a very good relationship with my mother in law, but this is the ONE topic that I refuse to discuss with her for that very reason. I'm tired of being blamed.
