[QUOTE="Steely, post: 186455, member: 3301"] Your post made me cry. God, I [B]so[/B] get how huge this is for difficult child, and you - as I see it daily in mine. The "i'm sorrys", the ability to finally nag without explosions, those are things we could not do or get most of their lives. Baby steps. Baby steps. My difficult child told me the other day that if I made him do something a [I]certain[/I] way he would fight it - but if I allowed him to do it his way, he wouldn't - bottom line we reached the same goal (doing school work) but I thought it was amazingly insightful that he [I]knew[/I] he would fight my rules - but he knew he would not fight his [I]own[/I] rules and inner motivation. I talked to my difficult children psychiatrist yesterday about his new bloodwork, and once again everything on his whole screen came back normal, including liver, thyroid, cbcs, etc. It has been 6 years now that he has been on Lithium. I pray that difficult child continues her small steps, which for her, are monumental. Hugs [/QUOTE]
