no hope

[LRT Land]

That is very helpful. My H does seem like a rebelious child at these times and I don't want to be his parent. I have been much better since reading DR about not taking the bait, but I too have sometimes responded in anger. I know it is better not to fuel the fire, but sometimes the statements/actions are so outrageous it catches me offguard. I'm trying to train myself to count before responding.

Thanks for sharing.
