[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 286661, member: 6245"] This sounds like the classic case of the stages of "Grief". I know I am still going through the "grieving" process of realizing my difficult child is not what I had in my head he would be, but it's okay because he will be who he is. I just read a really great book I picked up at the library called "Mending Wounded Minds" by Beth Henry. It's a story written by a step-mother of a difficult child and helped me get to the point to realize difficult child may never be fully healed like I thought in the beginning but we always have to keep hope. I think I am a little more desensitized though because difficult child's behavior used to shock and bring me to tears. Now I am a little more hardened by it and just matter of fact when I am dealing with his manic episodes or total meltdown. It still hurts but I am better at coming to grips with all of it. [/QUOTE]
