[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493285, member: 12886"] That makes sense and sounds like the Malika we all know, lol! (not that it wouldn't' be perfectly within your rights as a mom of a tough kid to despair at times and need some help pulling out of it....I go there LOTS) I think it is probably true you may need to be more direct about what you want from psychiatrist. You have new stories and info to share. One hard thing I find, when we talk to the professionals or other people off this list, it is common to want to focus on the progress and good things ...for many reasons (some I fear are because I want people to know about what I am doing and that I am not a lousy mom). but I have learned that there are times to really just focus on the yuck. (of course that can backfire at times too....like the psychiatric that said I must be exaggerating...I WISH) Be kind to yourself and remember that finding out that your child really has special needs is like they say in all the books.... a grief process. You will feel anger, despair, denial, hope, acceptance, in all different order, at all different times. Milestones that have us compare our kids to typical kids can cause it to all start over. You are doing fine and J is super lucky to have you. You were matched in life for a reason. [/QUOTE]
