I am taking away all of your maladaptive coping skills... if you need them, they will be in either my purse or the refrigerator neither of which you are allowed to prowl without my permission, which of course you do not have.....

I personally think it's stupid to take away a person's crutches in life and expect them to deal effectively for more than a couple of days without a mental meltdown! Because then you get to live in hell until you can learn to short-circuit the brain's automatic responses that you developed because of a lifetime of f@#kedupness.
