[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 764412, member: 4152"] What a great analogy, Copa. Love makes us blind? Yes, same old same old for DECADES. I fairly often find myself angry...but fairly often it might be at MYSELF for not facing what is right in front of me. I got an email from an old college friend yesterday. We had basically lost touch. She is battling a serious disease at the moment. In fact, she and a new friend...the same. IT's heart wrenching. Anyway, I re-connected with my old friend who is very familiar with my troubles with our "special needs" child. Mostly from her youth and early teen years...with only an occasional blip of info since then. Old friends sometimes are the best. To my surprise..practically out of no where...she called my husband and I "saints" a refrain I've heard a lot of lately...of which I would gladly give up the title...but she also made it clear in her own way that we are fooling ourselves if we think it's going to get better and so forth and so on..... Don't want to say too much here...but she was CLEAR on her thoughts...have never heard her "speak" in this fashion before. Perhaps her illness has made her more forthright. Only recently have some spoke up, but not quite as bluntly. I don't know. Even though it took my breath away...it was shocking in a certain way...I actually appreciated it. Deni.. I DO like that you said your son has the ability to catch himself going sideways and then getting back on track. Yes...prayers that he can do it quicker and that you are kept out of all the collateral damage. [/QUOTE]
