[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 228126, member: 1436"] I think often our kids find themselves in a catch22 situation. They know they are wrong--somewhere inside. They know the thoughts they have to harm themselves, do drugs, act out, etc. aren't reasonable, but they still have the thoughts or impulses and can't control them for whatever reason, so to them, they are reasonable. My difficult child has often, after the fact, recognized the irrationality of his thinking, but during the moment to him it's perfectly rational. It's sad to see them wrestle with such powerful "demons." I'm not sure how much they can control and how much is controlled. It's such a tightrope to walk to raise these kids. Hugs. No answers, really, just some thoughts on the subject. [/QUOTE]
