[QUOTE="mamamia, post: 140139, member: 4943"] Thank you all so much for your replies! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I should really hang out on this board more often. My friends are meaning well...but they don't know the effect of what they're saying has on me. Funny thing is that these are the folks who had difficult child over for a sleep-over (the last one for at least a year) and who finally "gave in" and gave him his melatonin (which he takes in a very low dose to help him switch "off" at night, and which I told them he'd definitely need since he'd be in a strange environment for him) at 12:30 when their daughter, with whom he was bunking for the night, complained that he wouldn't stop talking...they know that he is not the same as their kids. I know they didn't mean to seem judgemental. It's just that's how it feels. Feeling judged and feeling alone is almost as bad as having my son scream at me for every little thing...when I'm feeling less fragile I'll try to explain that to them. We are actually having a good day today with difficult child...knock on wood! :blushing2: m [/QUOTE]
