[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 618118, member: 1550"] I think it's an excuse not to take medication. He found something that would make any caring, loving parent feel terrible. Yet, although he knows how horrible it feels to be hurt, he can not see that HE is hurting people. I really have felt a lot better since I refuse to let 36 (my difficult child) make excuses for his behavior and, worst, blame me for what HE says or does. He can talk to me any time. I love him. I will engage him in talk about his son, his job, his girlfriends, but the minute he starts talking about what I did to him, I have to go and I hang up. Interestingly, I put 36 in a psychiatric hospital when he was twelve and he still brings it up too. I have learned to tune it out. My intentions were the best and I'm not going to listen anymore to what I may have done wrong. We have been getting along much better since I stopped putting up with his verbal abuse. I was thinking of posting a thread about how well we are now getting along since he rarely does the verbal abuse thang anymore. He understands MY boundaries...you verbally attack me, I suddenly have a visitor at the door, even if it's 11pm :) [/QUOTE]
