[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 110825, member: 1722"] Michelle- you truly can't underestimate the value of kind and understanding adults from outside the family on a difficult child. Especially if it validates what the parent has been saying all along while still offering support to the difficult child. Heather- I made a conscious choice not to be a crutch for Duckie. It's akin to hobbling her for life. Far better that she learn to navigate her way through the world than to depend on me indefinitely. Because someday I'm not going to be here... [/QUOTE]
