[quote=Anonymous]Time to change your tactics. I am sure she is as prickly as you describe, having had a similar child of my own. What helped me was some serious reflection about my parenting goals, and then reflecting on the steps I needed to take to achieve exactly those things. Then I pulled out of those awful interactions, and saved my tougher tone for what mattered. I also realized that my first goal was that he grew up to be a good man. My second goal was that he would grow up to be a good man who liked his mom. So I accepted the loneliness and rancor more easily. Still sucked.[/quote]
