[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 140344, member: 1697"] Oh we absolutely did do things like trade off parenting etc, too. Like I said, even non difficult children can have difficulty with certain things at certain times etc. But somethings simply were just so difficult with the 3 kids.....carnivals were one of those things. Carnivals sucked in all 3 kids, and got them all over stimulated, beyond control. And carnival type games, too. Heck, they um..slurp... in lots of adults I know. Some people just love to appear to be a "winner" walking around carnival grounds with one of the "GOOD" prizes for all to see. On one hand yes your son is 12, but on the other hand, he is not a typical 12, (is he 12? LOL- ) and even "typical" 12s can still have jealousy problems...heck, typical 25s can still have jealousy issues, especially over "mom" But with his diagnosis'es etc, he is not going to fall into the same norms for his emotions as other 12 year olds. ANd then- there is the part about his diagnosis, and him needing you. He needs you also not becuz of his disability but becuz of his age alone, disability or not. Your daughter is an adult, has her own family, your son is still a child. Sad she did not want you to adopt him, I am sorry, that could possibly make things harder? I wonder if your son knows she felt that way? It can be so hard to juggle a whole familys needs into day to day living. Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
