Will definitely keep an eye on that as well.<br /><br />Marythemommarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-65546301026916172822010-01-02T23:34:53.691-06:002010-01-02T23:34:53.691-06:00Still, I gotta wonder what Kitty was aiming for wh...Still, I gotta wonder what Kitty was aiming for when she teased Bear like that. Flashing lights really bother me, can bring on headaches. She was deliberatly doing something she knew he didn't like. What did she expect him to do? ... My boys would be physical at that point. Now she's older my daughter would too. Not that it is the right response, but it is not an abnormal response ... Bear had certainly tried "using his words" and they didn't work ... <br /><br />Also, I give in to my eldest's constant nagging for something because he knows so well how to do it just right -- he is persistant, he comes up with arguements that you know are lies but you can't prove it, he adds in guilt, he acts hurt ... if I keep saying "no" I risk escalating anger that can turn into yelling in my ear or a fist in the windshield -- which give me PTSD flashbacks, so, in essense, he threatens me with doing something that will trigger me and cause me to "loose it" and need to retreat from family and responsibility for a few hours. Bear certainly knows Kitty well enough to know what she most doesn't want, and how to make that happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-10171500546721723992010-01-01T10:17:45.024-06:002010-01-01T10:17:45.024-06:00Good for you and good for Kitty being able to tell...Good for you and good for Kitty being able to tell you about it. <br />I feel sad for Bear not being able to realize his dream of joining the armed forces or becoming a cop, but thinking about it, it doesn't seem like a good idea for him to be in a position of authority over others. <br />You're right to keep an eye on him. It's not normal for kids to deliberately break their possessions. I know it's a symptom of RAD, but really, why spend your hard earned money on things that he'll just break anyway?<br />You must feel very frustrated.<br />My two boys are both over six feet tall and strong as oxen but they're gentle and considerate. I feel safe with them both towering over me when we go out. Hopefully someday Bear will be able to make you all feel safe, too.<br />Happy New Year!Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-15485935563299277912009-12-31T15:38:55.151-06:002009-12-31T15:38:55.151-06:00I left you an award as well! :) http://sherific.bl...I left you an award as well! :) http://sherific.blogspot.com/2009/12/award.htmlSherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598822471867683429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-22574845331857795822009-12-31T11:04:16.194-06:002009-12-31T11:04:16.194-06:00come by and get your awardcome by and get your awardLayniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430942855883399994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-69233803306154299492009-12-30T07:17:49.267-06:002009-12-30T07:17:49.267-06:00You handled all that so well.
