[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were out of control and my life had become completely unmanageable. I went to therapy because I wanted to have a good relationship with them. 
So I sat in my therapist's office and bitched and moaned about how they don't understand authority and they're manipulative and stubborn and it's just like my brother in law and the other one is just like my own mother who I have a hard relationship. What is the reason this one does this, and the other one behaves like her grandmother who is highly opinionated. you get the picture.

The therapist told me one thing I continue to remind myself over and over (10 years later)--"Your child is an individual person, with a brain, a will, and a soul of his/her own."

The problems I was working out with my kids and husband were issues I have with other people. Therefore, it was actually all my problem to learn to deal with. She helped me and now we have regular ups and downs but it is so much better.
