[QUOTE="OTE, post: 738452"] Sorry folks... Its been great visiting you this morning. But I think I may need another long break from here until things change again. It seems that my children are no longer referred to here as gifts but as difficulties. To me they are still gifts from God. I prayed for them and He gave them to me. My children have brains that don"t function the way mine does. They may do things that are challenging for me to handle, respond to, accept..... But I'm not always a walk in the park either. I'm not aware that my children consider me "difficult." Certainly not all of their behaviors are "difficult". Difficult is such a judgemental word and in my family we don"t make judgements, much less of each other. So I can"t spend hours being forced to think of disabled children ( adults in my case) as "difficult". Its like squeaky chalk to me Negative behaviors may be symptomatic of a disability. Why make a judgement of a symptom? Why is a person 'bad" because their illness shows itself? [/QUOTE]
