[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 239346, member: 3208"] Hi, I don't mean to hijack this thread, I just wanted to say thanks to Linda and Sharon for pointing out that our families are not typical. You always hear that stuff about how you are supposed to eat dinner as a family and we were not able to do that--my husband and I would eat together but the kids all ate separately because they couldn't stand the "smacking" sounds. Just last night my difficult child 2/easy child dtr was talking about a family we know who has now moved away but they are great people--mom and dad and little boy. She said how they seem like such a healthy family and I felt bad because I know our family was so affected by difficult child 1 that we couldn't operate as a healthy family. So, thanks for mentioning these things--it helps me to see that there is no way we could be like a "normal" or "typical" family with a difficult child thrown in there! So sorry Sharon for your bad night. Jane [/QUOTE]
