[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 428460, member: 9175"] Allan, I am baffled as to why you are posting in this forum. 1. You do not have a difficult child and are not seeking support 2 You tout "collaborative problem solving", yet you are not LISTENING to the many, many posters on this thread who wearily tell you that such reasoning does not work with mentally ill adult difficult children. All you do is regurgitate your point of view. While you have every right to your opinion, what you are posting here is not only not helpful, it is actually counter productive. Most of us have been through the wringer fending off well meaning, but clueless, people in real life who tell us that our difficult children need to feel as though they are part of the solution ... they need to be "heard" in a non judgemental way.... this kind of reasoning makes sense on paper. When it does not make sense, however, is in the midst of battle. As warrior parents, we cannot simply sit back in our rocking chairs, fold our hands and listen, in a non-judgemental manner, as our kids jump from one rabbit hole of danger to another. Why are you here, Allan? What are you hping to accomplish with your posts? Dash [/QUOTE]
