[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 363697, member: 1169"] Star, on my good days I can agree with all that you said. On my bad days, I am hurt and furious that I have to 'settle' for being happy about some small shadow of what my child could have/should have/would have been. It is not as hard with Kanga because I clearly see how her choices are directing her path. But for the other 3 who try so hard and still fall short of so many milestones, it breaks my heart because they know they aren't keeping up with their peers and it hurts them too. It is an ongoing internal battle to let go of the dreams I had for them and adjust to dreams they are capable of achieving (no Harvard, but maybe a small, supportive college, etc.) [/QUOTE]
