[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 232658, member: 1233"] I am sorry. it is so hard to leave them in a new situation when they are upset. I am right here with you. as for the in-laws, whenever you find yourself second guessing things, think of any of the strange things your mother in law does - and consider the source of the criticism. In your head SEE her doing one of her strange things. I bet it will help you realize that her criticism is about as valid as that email I just got that said I have a relative in Africa who left me millions of $$. This REALLY helped me when I went through the second guessing because of some things my in-laws said. also remember this - you have a special bond with your son. YOU are the expert on your son - not the docs (who are experts on disease and disorder, but never on a child since they only see them for a few minutes every few months!), not the school people, not the lady down the lane, and NOT your in-laws. And YOU are doing a TERRIFIC job with and for your son. You are a great advocate for him in all ways. You also love him with all your heart (and you have a pretty big heart!) and are constantly searching for the best ways to help him. Your inlaws are criticizing, but they are doing NOTHING positive for your son. So blow them off. Or, more accurately, Consider the Source. Right here with you today, lady. Susie [/QUOTE]
