[QUOTE="bran155, post: 220598"] Also been there, however not with family members. I am very lucky that way, even my extended family really does understand. That is just pure ignorance!!! Sometimes I think our children would be more tolerated and receive more empathy if they had a physical illness. Some people just don't understand what it is like. My daughter's father never believed she needed medication, WHAT??? That's because he isn't really in her life and does not live what we do on a daily basis. I used to beat myself up, thinking "if I only had done......". My daughter's therapist once told me that I could have had a 24 hour a day coach living with me and telling me all the right things to do and my daughter would still be exactly the same. So, do not second guess yourself!!!! That comment came from nothing but ignorance. It is very easy for others to pass judgment on a situation they no nothing about. You know in your heart you have been a GREAT mother and have done more for your child than she will ever do for hers in 10 lifetimes!!!!! God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
