I have thought about that angle as well, but obviously it hasnt worked for me, so I have done more of the Robx approach, which I dont think I can change now. It will be looked at as me following into her control more, dont you think?
I really hate this for my kids, my S told me on the phone last night, he wants me to come over and see his toy box he painted. I laughed a bit and said I would see it soon. How can anyone use their kids like this? I do think she is having a little trouble detaching as well, but I am going to hand this over to a L, which since the postponement has given me the chance to bring one in actually. So maybe its a blessing in disguise.
