[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 14496, member: 3388"] My mother (who I no longer discuss difficult child issues with), used to always be in a state of denial that there was anything wrong with either one of my difficult children. When difficult child 2 was first diagnosed as being autistic, my mother said, "how do you know you can believe the doctors who gave him the diagnosis? Maybe you should take difficult child 2 to a better place. difficult child 2 is fine." When I first found out that difficult child 1 was bipolar, my mother responded by saying, well I know a bipolar anesthesiologist (SPELLING?). difficult child 1 is fine." To this day, she doesn't accept that there is anything wrong with my difficult children. Its usually me just reading too much into things. According to her, they will both get into good colleges, get good jobs and be fine... I should stop worrying... She constantly used to ask me why difficult children didn't have a busier social life. No matter what I told her, it was always my fault. According to her, and she said this to me within the past year, all I need to do is to invite kids over to "play with difficult children" and everything will be fine. What planet is she on? Imagine trying to invite classmates over to "play with my 8th and 10th grade difficult children!!! Maybe it would make a good sitcom!!! Also, I hate it too when people ask me how I do it. I find this to be one of the most annoying comments!!! Even one of my oldest and closest friends asks me this. I know she only wants to help, but, she has never been in the position I'm in. Sometimes, it's impossible for her to understand... WFEN [/QUOTE]
