[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763063, member: 4152"] Interesting stuff. I had a slight tendency to catastrophize probably due to an abusive parent. I was doing better with that until my “special” child came along. Sadly/interestingly it all started over as she very very likely would turn things into crud. All things…every thing. And leave a wake of collateral damage. It became “wiser” to assume the worst. I kept on trying to be optimistic, only to be hit in the face with more crud. I try not to let it spill over into other areas of my life …just have a healthy skepticism’s without being overly critical, paranoid, negative etc. Life really can be good, especially when you detach as much as possible from an adult child who is not making any effort to improve . And fir us to personally associate with those who are kind and responsible…and of course be that way ourselves. Blessings. [/QUOTE]
