[QUOTE="Star*, post: 407425, member: 4964"] IF your family ----anyone of them........were out on the street, and a person standing across from them threw a chair at them trying to cause bodily harm to them? Ask them what their reaction be? 1.) Call the police and EMS to subdue and calm that person? 2.) Simply do nothing and walk away. 3.) Try to reason with the person and hopefully not get knocked out so that the person out of control who is a danger to herself and others would not maybe throw that chair through a window breaking glass and possibly injuring herself worse where she needed 1000 stitches or worse? Yeah - see it is [B][U][I]VERY[/I][/U][/B] easy to stand outside a situation and say " Well, I would have done.......". When in truth? Given the same situation, none of us may have reacted the same, because we haven't the same life experiences or had to deal with the same things. Even you and I could be in a room with a child throwing a chair, and not reacted the same way. But fact remains - She is your child, YOU have had to live with her, YOU know when she is out of control, YOU know when it's too much, and YOU know when it's too much for YOU. Nuf sed. Don't place too much salt in the "I WOULD HAVE, YOU SHOULD'NT HAVE's" because they don't have to live your life. No two people will ever handle things the same way. If we did? Well then reality TV would be very boring wouldn't it? We'd all be sitting at home watching Housewives of Atlanta going 'I would have done the exact same thing, I would have done the exact same thing, I would have done the EXACT same thing, and so on and so on and no one would ever disagree." See? lol. They have every right to disagree with your decision, but in the end? They don't have to live day in and day out with a child with Aspergers.......and at any time? I would invite them to.
