[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 118474, member: 1233"] I think we owe our moderators, and fellow members, a big big BIG HUG!! Most often when we come, we have no idea what we need, and no idea where to turn. In my own personal and specific case, having someone OTHER than my hubby to turn to was a wonderful gift. Even bigger than that was the wealth of ideas I was given. And NO ONE seemed to think my difficult child's issues were "made up" or "mom being hysterical". When most of the other human type live beings tell you this, you are in a pretty rough place. Our biggest strength here is the diversity and understanding we give to each other. Even the diversity OF the understanding is amazing. Often I post about what I see as the problem. I get answers and resources for that, on many sides of that problem. But there is often a different view of the problem itself. This has led to a whole lot of healing for my family, and a great warmth in my heart and soul for all of you here at the Board. Jennifer, you are completely correct, sometimes being able to post is a huge gift all by itself. I think it is a very rare group of people, of any gender, on any topic, where support is given even if advice is not taken. This is one of the few forums I have joined/surfed/explored over the years where more than just a few people encourage us as parents to follow our instincts when it comes to the appropriate care (all kind of appropriateness) of our kiddoes. I personally have had a lot of grief from professionals and from other parents for insisting on following my instincts about a child's health, emotional state, education, whatever. Many forums have said or implied that the doctors know more than moms or dads, so the docs should be listened to. I think encouraging the use of a parent's or both parents' instincts is one of our strongest points. Many times y'all have told me NOT to give up if my instincts say something else is going on. This is a rare and beautiful thing, in my opinion. Hugs and happy Saturday to all! Susie [/QUOTE]
