[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 737562, member: 17720"] That was a good article. Thanks for sharing. I really struggle with this, and not just with my difficult child. How much time do I spend wishing the people I interact with would act differently? Wow...a LOT. Given my huge expenditures of time spent wishing other people would be different, how many of them now act differently? Hmmm...that would be...none. So the challenge for me is to focus less on how I think others "should" behave in a given situation and more on how I think *I* should respond in a given situation. Not easy, but at least within my control. "My actions are my only true belongings." -- Thich Nhat Hanh [/QUOTE]
