[QUOTE="buddy, post: 526423, member: 12886"] That is a nice post. I have thought about you a couple of times this weekend. I think (this will sound dumb) because I see those commercials for Dr. Phil and he is having a woman on and he says in over 30 years he has never met a person with multiple personalities and then asks if he can speak to the other personality and she switches right there. I am sure this is quite different from your son and where he is with things, but it just triggers my thoughts for you and I just hope that the people you are being connected with are very good. I remember another show where a mom and her husband and kids were on and the kids said they just learned how to live with each of the different states/moods their mom would be in and they loved her fully no matter what. It seems people with good help can have really full lives, and I just have to hope this for your son. I wish though, that we could just take away any of that from our kids. That they have to live with such serious, life altering disabilities sometimes seems just so unfair. Then I think, well, we dont know the whys or what will come of these things, all we have is the here and now and we just have to try our best to give them the best life they can reach. You are so dedicated and he will have a good life. Our dreams have to be changed for our kids at these times. I dont know about you, but my main goal for Q is to be happy, secondly-- for him to be safe, and anything beyond that is gravy. You are among several here right now who are in a sort of transition/holding pattern, waiting for services and that is a tough spot to be in. I hope along with the connections for your difficult child, they will have parent support as well. I imagine that this has to be something where much of his recovery and ability to function will be based on the ability of those around him to be healthy and happy (and of course to fully understand his needs). I pray that you be surrounded by supportive people and programs. He is blessed to have you. I am sorry you are so sad right now and wish I could take that away for you. I hope as you spend time reading here, you will find more time to write and let it out too. in my opinion, it is really ok to not respond to other posts for periods of time, there are times when it is ok just to need support from others.
