[QUOTE="daralex, post: 266111, member: 4467"] I agree - I am also very open about difficult child and what she's dealing with. Most of the time I almost have to so I can "explain" why she acts the way she does. If people can't deal with it that's their problem not mine. I gather her teachers (when she was in public school) every year and sit them down to explain what they will be dealing with and why. It helped a little to have them on the same mental playing field. Of course - the only ones that ever helped were the ones that understood what it really was we are dealing with (far and few between)! I think the more people talk about this the less taboo it will be. Look at how many of us are on this board - there are more people dealing with situations like ours than you think. You'll never know if people in your daily life are dealing with the same things we are, but opening that door to dialogue is sometimes more therapeutic than you think it could ever be! -Dara [/QUOTE]
