[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 56587, member: 805"] Kathie, I think we each do what we need to get through this day - tomorrow it could be a totally different story. I'm so sorry to hear this about your young son. When I think about my son, age 11, I cannot imagine the fear, pain, and helplessness you must have/are felt/feeling. You are truly blessed that it was a failed attempt. Sounds like you are fairly optimistic regarding the wrap services. I hope they work out for your son. Kathie, we all are different. There are some on this board who post regularly and we know the intimate ins and outs of their difficult child's lives - while others pop on just from time to time to check in - and still others post only when there's trouble. Additionally, some posters reply to posts on a regular basis to just add support, while still others only contribute if it's something they have experience with. It takes everyone to make this board such a welcoming and supportive place. You have to do what feels best for you. For me, it is good to share when necessary for other's to have some understanding of my son. I don't tell everyone but both sides of the family know - some more than others depending upon their intimacy in our lives. In regards to friends, I think we need them. I need someone I can cry to and laugh to. I need the support of my church, my family, and my friends. You do what is best for you. You could reach out in the form of starting a conversation with someone else you know has a difficult child. You could share this site with someone. Start a friendly concersation with one of the parents in one of the kid's resource room. Only do what feels right. You may just be the type of person who internalizes their stress and solves their own problems without outside intervention. You never know though, until you try. Sharon [/QUOTE]
