[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656751, member: 17309"] Copa and Cedar, I've been reading along in your comments to each other and just had to comment a bit myself. First, a lot of this has resonated with me. It's so hard to find a happy medium, a way to get past the hurt and just have any kind of relationship. I tend to end up in the drama because I keep responding, offering advice, offering reminders. I need to stop. This is my problem...I have a terrible time with this. His "I have no one. No one likes me. I have no friends. I have no one but you." is SO SAD! I think of the times in my life when I felt really alone. There was a time when he was little, after the ex, before Jabber, when I remember thinking that if I died on a Friday at home the poor baby wouldn't be found until sometime Monday or Tuesday, whenever my job alerted someone I was missing...I was that isolated. But I survived. I made friends eventually. He can too. I had to laugh at this, even though it's really very good advice. When our pups where little we took them to obedience school and learned that to tell them NO you go "AH-AH!" It gets their attention better. We would catch ourselves doing that to our son! He got so upset when we'd treat him like a dog. LOL!!! There's a South Park episode with the Dog Whisperer training Cartman. (Warning for language!) [MEDIA=youtube]Rx_lTgUSyB4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
