Cort I hope your doing okay..I know how the pain is and I know worry..it's my middle name..there is something deep down inside of me that I am battling with..
I couldnt begin to tell you what it was..I told someone yesterday that if they were in my head and body for 5 minutes they would scream to get out..but I am not the only one who has problems...
Sometimes I forget things..like telling people things..and my daughters get so upset that they can hurt feelings and maybe not know they are doing it..but see I am like a magnet everything sticks to me until its manually pulled off and my strength is not alot right now...
And if they get too upset when I am trying to tell them something they will just walk away..so I just be quiet then they want to know whats wrong...My daughter just walked right away from me like I wasnt even trying to explain something to her..I honestly was trying to help her understand..but I can understand them getting upset because i get upset at myself...
Maybe sometimes they walk away because they are frustrated with trying to understand. Maybe you should talk to them about expressing things better, or saying something like "mom, i'm not getting this right now, can we try to talk about it again later?" I'm sure they don't mean to hurt you.

I agree some what that they may not understand. However I hate to say this but it seems that how kids can be these days. My oldest is terrible about that or he will say mom why do you have to be like that - when I am trying to explain things to them. These day they think they know it all - so it is very difficult to try and tell them different. We try because we love them - also we don't give up on them because we love them.
If you need to talk I am here.

I agree with both April and Bonnie...I have siminalr issues with Jake and his famous saying is ....MOM you just dont get it, or you dont understand. I try and tell him I wont be able to help him if he doesnt explain to me why he dosent understand it and well his only 12 almost 13 but he trys to calm down. It is so hard for me to stay calm though out this because we are both bi-polar and I have to suck it up so I dont trigger him. So I understand walking away when they wont listen, here is where April's idea came in. I usually tell Jake, how about after you calm down we can try and talk agian and usually that puts it on his shoulders and he calms down, now you have to wait patiently and I KNOW thats hard! Good luck....Im doing ok. Love you.
