[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 48043, member: 393"] Tara, It's not a matter of what you or your brother did - it's difficult children ability to tolerate intimacy. I had many hopes for the tweedles AND they were my hopes. Not necessarily in the best interest of kt or wm. My job, as a parent, is to raise them in a safe environment & to be law abiding citizens. Having said that, after a certain point, it becomes our little wonders responsibility to make choices that are positive. husband & I accepted the fact that kt & wm can only tolerate a certain level of intimacy; regress when agitated & have little sense of self or permanency. Our visits with wm are little more than an hour each week - it's all he can tolerate. kt tolerates little intimacy or nurturing. She becomes agitated when asked for a hug. I can & will do all possible to get kt & wm to their highest level of functionality in the community. Pursue any & all options that are available - in the end, it will be up to the tweedles. The same applies to your difficult child. by the way, our attachment specialist for wm is an adoptive parent. Her adopted son could not tolerate the emotional demands & intimacy in the home. He, like wm, spent years in a treatment facility or foster therapy home. To this day, he loves his parents yet at the annual family reunions can only accept (tolerate) a day or two before he leaves (the reunion last 7 days). Attachment therapist has accepted that this is her difficult child. [/QUOTE]
