[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 135556"] Honestly, even though I have support off the board, the support I get from the board members just seems more genuine. It's hard to meet people in daily life who know what we are going through. Who have been there done that. So, when I'm looking for specific advice or support, I know I can come here. This site, for me, isn't an in-addition-to place. It's the best place I've found for it. I think part of it is that in writing things out, as Scent of Cedar said, is cathartic, as well as helping us put our thoughts in order. And when you write it out, it's much better defined than you would probably find in a typical conversation. And since soooo many of us have been there done that, the advice and support is going to be more meaningful. While you may have friends and family with kids, having a difficult child completely changes everything. You have different struggles, different battles, different needs. It has an effect on the child and the family. And unless people have lived it, it's very hard to understand. Just my thoughts.... [/QUOTE]
