[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 300933, member: 3419"] Welcome, TicToc. I love what Fran said: [I]but what I accept ok today would have devastated me when difficult child was a child.[/I] It is so true. Looking into the future can be an interesting exercise but generally, you have to take it one day or one week at a time. Your point of view will change. Your difficult child will change. Life changes. But, he does have issues and he will always have issues. You will have to live with-that and more imporantly, teach him to live with that and work with it and around it. You don't have to accept it all right now, all at one time. Some days you can accept his tics. Other days you can accept his anxiety. Other days you will find that treatment is successful and you won't have to accept something you thought would be a lifetime issue. My son is 12 and has come a long way. I often wonder what will happen in 15 yrs. But our lives are so full now, I try to stay content with that and not do that "what if?" mind game. It's hard, I know. [/QUOTE]
