Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	It's time. After an "episode" a few weeks ago, we need to step in. But both parents are stubborn and don't WANT help. Yet, Dad did mention, in the midst of the episode, that he needed it. Anyone have some wise words to offer? I'm already assuming Dad wants help since he did tell me. I'm not going to let him go back on his word. I want to let him know that they, at least, need to give it a chance...to help US feel comfortable. That he has four kids who love him and worry about him. Meridian at Home seems to be where we are leaning. They are covered under his healthcare plan. Any tips? _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

This seems to be a similar situation. If you make sure he understands that you all love him and worry about him, and be specific about what happened during the episode you mention by being blunt and pointing out exactly what happened - the facts.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Okay. I feel angry when you ignore me because it seems you are discounting me as a person. I feel scared when you drive very fast because I don't want you to get hurt or to hurt someone else. I feel happy when you hug me because it tells me you care about me. Does that help? _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/
