[QUOTE="Christy, post: 300852, member: 225"] Will it ever get better? Yes, some times will be better and sometimes will be worse. You will overcome obstacles but new ones will develop along the way. The "Holland Story" is a great analogy for learning to accept something different than from what we expected in our parenting journey but along with that come the stages of emotional reactions including crisis, shock, denial, grief and acceptance. It takes time to work through these stages. Sometime accepting that our child can't have the same life as a typical child seems like giving up hope but at the same time, it is important to take it slow and avoid as much stress as possible. Don't push too hard. Focus on each small step and celebrate it. Gather as much knowledge as possible along the way so that you can make the best decisions for you child. Mistakes will be made along the way. Join a support group in your area like NAMI. Take advantage of any community services that may be available. Be you child's advocate. You can't make him better but you can make the world a better place for him. (((hugs))) Christy [/QUOTE]
