[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 561155"] Thinking of you and I hope you are reassured by the wisdom of our board sisters who have been in your shoes. The only thing I can add - and I am not sure if it makes much sense... Our instincts as mothers is to look ahead...we wonder when our newborns will roll over and when they do - we wonder when they will sit up. When they crawl, we start anticipating the day they walk ... and so on. Even when we are trying to hold on to those precious moments, we do so in the idea that they are transient and building up to something. As mothers of difficult children, we learn not to take refuge in the peace of their good spells, we have learned the hard way that we need to stay on our toes and to anticipate that the other shoe will soon fall. In fact, we are used to a deluge of shoes...(stinky, ugly shoes, not the GOOD kind of shoes LOL) But - I think you need to take some refuge in HOW FAR difficult child HAS COME! So, it's not perfect, so it's a step back at this point - but it's been a LOT of steps in the right direction. And that's something. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
