[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 390617"] She was 7 or so at the time, and the only place she saw this girl was at a week long summer camp. Being a difficult child myself I know one of the most important supports I had at her age were friends like me - all different but in their own way, and we grew our "rhino skin" together. She hasn't really made many friends at all, and none that live nearby. She's working on it. One thing I have noticed about her, and I'm not sure if it's a difficult child thing or just because of where we live, but she doesn't really notice outward differences in people. I grew up in the south where you see a lot of racism. I wasn't raised that way, but I knew a lot of kids that were. I didn't have to teach Hibernator to look past differences like that - she sees inside differences instead. She's not blind to obvious physical handicaps, she seems to relate to those kids better though. Anyway, we're off topic. My "Who is he?" question is as much a nudge-nudge-wink-wink thing as it is anything else. I'm happy for DF. :D [/QUOTE]
