[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 27447, member: 696"] I think you are feeling the "pain of detaching" along with a realization of something that once was and now is not. difficult child 1 spews venom as well as love. He's very open but also very closed. He scares himself with his thoughts and his actions. He has spewed off and then apologized later. He knows very well that only his mother will probably love him unconditionally. He knows he will not handle relationships well. I do believe it is their illness. The literature talks about this. I grew a rhino skin and am able to step outside the venom circle to see exactly what is happening. I hear it and sometimes it seeps into me which makes me sad. I then have to brush myself off and keep going with the understanding that not everyone is like that. It's very sad. I do agree that if and when they have children, that helps. I just worry what will happen when those children get older...how will they handle being parents of bullies or whiny kids, or worse yet...images of themselves. It is hard to detach from your child. It is necessary though. Time is the best healer for their brain wrinkles. Too bad we have to measure time based upon the distance between flair ups! [/QUOTE]
