[QUOTE="Steely, post: 117866, member: 3301"] Yep, I so agree Toto.......... You know what I think makes it hard for some of us, is that we have all tried SO many things for our kids, with none of them working. And then, when we do find something that works, we latch onto it as if it is the one and only solution. I think the opposite is also true - we also know the few medications or situations that made our kids go absolutely AWOL and under no circumstances do we want other kids to go through what we went through. So we hold these things too close to our heart, in an effort to help others. I know, for myself, sometimes I find it hard to be objective. Maybe because I have been through SO much, it causes me to be quite opinionated? However, when I find myself feeling compelled to project my wisdom with force, I have to remind myself of all the people that came into my difficult child's life with their own crazy ideals, philosophies, and judgment and tried to shove them down my throat. That vision usually grounds me! [img]:laugh:[/img] I think we do have a lot of new people - and even if our new members only come once or twice we can impact their lives with ours. I remember helping one newbie with a decision to not give in to the SD and give her child to the state. I have not seen her back on our board since she decided against it - however - I hope that even in a couple of positive, objective, but heartfilled posts, I was able to impact her life. Great post Toto.........I hope we all realize what an impact we can have with our words and insight into other's lives. [/QUOTE]
