[QUOTE="Fran, post: 383847, member: 3"] Wearywoman, you are still in the formative years of warrior mom growth. At 9yrs old, you are still reeling from the diagnosis and all that entails. Trying to get the education and home behavior in line is a life long endeavor for many of us. When my difficult child was that young, I was still terrified because no one could tell me what that meant for difficult child's future and our future. I still had some guilt that I missed some essential ingredient to raising children and this was [I]all my fault.[/I] As my confidence and experience and my education in difficult child issues progressed, the less guilt I had until I realized it was a waste of energy. There is no blame. There is only a child who is trying to make his way in this very confusing and demanding life. My responsibility is to him and what he needs. I answer to no one but my God, my husband and myself and not necessarily in that order. I take parenting very seriously and made many sacrifices (as I should) to help difficult child and easy child for that matter. No justification and no guilt. When faced with a dilemma, I ask myself "what does my child need?". It sets the direction every time. Keep your purpose pure. difficult child. Let what other's think be of very small consequence. If you are so inclined, proposing help for the young church members who are special needs so that they too, can learn their faith would be a wonderful mission for your education dept. of your church. Not sure how one does that but it's a good way to lead the way in being a warrior mom. It won't be long before you will be a full fledged General in our army of dedicated parents helping their children without shame, guilt or making due. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
