[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 590240, member: 13542"] Well done IC. [B]You know you're the parent of a difficult child when: [/B] ([I] a bit of humor in an otherwise strange Universe...........) [/I] 1. You believe living in Iraq, Afghanistan or any war zone would be more peaceful and more quiet then where you live. 2. You don't know what it's like to sleep with both eyes closed. 3. When the phone rings late at night, you are dressed, in the car and headed for the police station before you're fully awake. 4. You have locks on your bedroom door, your liquor cabinet, your dresser drawers, your medicine cabinet and your refrigerator. 5. You have locks on the [U]outside [/U]of some doors 6. you have the police, the hospital, the psychiatric ward and your attorney on speed dial 7. Your standard response to the question, how is your child..........is...........my child? Oh, didn't I tell you, she's still in Europe, finishing that novel........or as one mother I know said,[I]"my kids are great, my daughter is at Brown and my son is at Rikers." [/I] 6. You now hang out with women who have no kids and don't ask questions. 7. All the police in town know you on a first name basis. 8. You assume that whenever your difficult child's lips are moving, she is lying. 9. When your difficult child calls, you cut to the chase and simply ask, "how much?" 10. You may be 36 years old, but you have the internal organs of a 96 year old woman who has been stuck in fight or flight for 30 years. 11. The only time you can rest is when you are undergoing surgery or dental work. 12. You recognize your difficult child's girlfriend or boyfriend from an episode of LockUp. 13.
