[QUOTE="Justfour, post: 549469, member: 15155"] Hi again Jen. Once again the parallel lives thing! Reading your last post, I'm just the same with my youngest. She is so sweet natured and loving but with what I think is aspergers (waiting for assessment) she too can be quite hard work at times so when they are both quiet or if she says can we play...? I say no usually as I'm so exhausted emotionally I haven't got the energy. It makes me feel so bad for her and leaves me feeling guilty. Sometimes I do make the effort and she does appreciate it but what I say to myself is I'm a single mum, since I split up with their father when I was pregnant with youngest I have been on my own, I'm doing the best I can with the hand I've been dealt. I know a lot of my friends wouldn't have coped with my life the way it is and I'm proud to say I do it all sober!! Lol so chin up and know your doing your best and giving everything you can. These kids are so challenging and emotionally draining it's a wonder were sane! I think that's pretty great! glad your getting dr. Greenes book. I've started reading it, one problem I see is he says to know the triggers and avoid them, unfortunately my youngest is a trigger to her sister. I hope that's covered in later chapters! :) [/QUOTE]
