[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 381790, member: 3444"] This IS very stressful for parents to go through. Be gentle with yourself. It's okay to cry about this. It's okay to grieve the loss of the "normal" child you thought you had. Eventually you will come to a place where you feel like you've got a handle on things, you'll have created your warrior parent armor, and you will start to appreciate your child's differences, even celebrate them. This allegory describes what many of us have gone through: [URL]http://www.our-kids.org/Archives/Holland.html[/URL] Something to keep in mind is that you really have to take care of yourself throughout this process of raising a difficult child. Carve out time to do things that recharge your emotional, physical and spiritual batteries, so to speak. Even if it's just 15 minutes at a time, it will help you be a better parent, a better spouse, a better human. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
