Thinking Outside the Box

You may be the closest I ever get to Australia; is it as wonderful as I think it is? Australia has always been the one place I've wanted to go! Well, you saying that you feel it is also in your family, makes me feel so much better! I have honestly been frustrated that doctors don't seem to be interested in taking a closer look at what is in the immediate families; to me, its like a giant flashing sign saying look over here, we know what's wrong!! Looking forward to hearing ways to help me work on my husband. He and I need to be on the same page, when we are not, it feels very much like being a single parent. I appreciate your information and advice on IQ. It was all new to me and made feel better about my son's score. Your difficult child is much like mine in the sense that Brenden too has the most difficulty with the retrieval process and the speed in which it comes to him.
I will be getting my hands on Explosive Child on Monday. Like your husband, my husband will not be able to get into it. My mother in law is much like yours and both her son and her grandson seem to totally normal and she fights us all the way when working with Brenden. Her famous line to me is, "everyone has fruits and nuts in our families, we just have to find a way to live with them" and she gets upset with me because I want more then just "living" with Brenden. Brenden deserves the chance to have a real life, not just get through it. Thank you for your "mud pie recipe" or "meeting him where he is at". Maybe one day, a bubble will float over here and pass over Brenden and he too, will be outside blowing bubbles! He can blow bubbles for hours! Well, I have a lot of work cut out for me and after a 2 days of being on here, I can again see a glimpse of that light I used to be able to so easily see at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. Mel
