[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 157178, member: 1991"] How much is your husband involved with the kids, from day to day, minute to minute? It is my experience that family members who are less involved take longer in the denial phase than family members who are hands-on. We like to think our precious children are perfect and will do well in life, growing up to become doctors, lawyers, leaders of the country. To have to accept that your child has a problem - we ALL tend to spend some time saying, "No, not MY child." But the closer you are to the coal seam, the easier it is to say, "This stuff is really very black." The further away you are, the easier it is to go on kidding yourself that everything's perfect, that the child is merely an individual and has determination which will see him/her through to a life of wonderful success. For us, the cure was to ensure the person in denial had to take some fairly heavy shifts in caring for the child "at the coal face". And if they refuse? Then they have just given up the right to be critical of the choices you make for the child. Marg [/QUOTE]
