[QUOTE="Malika, post: 515552, member: 11227"] Hi buddy. I do like the sound of what whatamess said... And that said, this is something I really struggle with myself. Occasionally I exacerbate problems for both of us because I am rigidly sticking to something I have decided. In my case, it is often something trivial (like what shoes he wears to school...) However, I do think this "rigidity" is a sign of stress... I am expressing emotions about something major, like the frustration, difficulty and sometimes loneliness of dealing with a sometimes oppositional and difficult child alone, and pinning it on to something apparently minor. This may be what is happening with you. Or it may not. But I do know that there are two of you, you and Q, and you are both equally valuable and worthy of care, compassion and attention. [/QUOTE]
