[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 292809, member: 7371"] Heather, That is soooo frustrating. I hate it when they try to draw you in to their misery so that you feel like [I]you're[/I] going crazy! Maybe if you just say calmly, "OK, thanks for letting me know. We'll talk to psychiatrist about it at the next visit." It lets her know you hear her "grievance," but takes you out of the position of solving all of her problems. Which of course we moms can't do because we don't know [I]anything[/I]. This may not stop her complaints, but it may help you deal with it in a detached way -- something my therapist always promotes. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
