[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 166650, member: 1991"] I hope you said, "I love you too." Of course you did! mother in law used to make a point os saying, "I love you, difficult child 3," to our boy. He was non-verbal at the time and I don't think he had a clue what she meant. But it did mean that when he finally said, "I love you," to anyone, he said it to mother in law first. Again, I don't think he knew what it meant at the time. Then one evening a few months later, he walked up to me, put his head in my lap briefly, and said, "I love you, Mum." He was gone before I could respond, but I think he was beginning to understand what it meant. I remember once when I was angry with him, he said he was said "because you don't love me any more." I made sure to tell him that I ALWAYS love him, it's naughtiness that I don't like. Again, it was difficult for him to understand and I think especially difficult children need to be reminded often - we love our difficult children, we just don't like the bad things they do sometimes. Any opportunity for expressing unconditional love - grab it! Marg [/QUOTE]
