[QUOTE="DDD, post: 318401, member: 35"] I may be completely wrong. Also, be forwarned, I am not my "usual" self lately since I'm quitting smoking. BUT...that said...is it possible that you may be going through a period of adjustment yourself. Most of us have had times where we "sought normalcy" with great dedication as the idea of our beautiful children being seriously ill or messed up became overwhelming. Maybe by reducing medication and seeking "markers of normalcy" (honesty, guilt etc.) you are in crisis mode. There is an old book that was written by parents of special needs children. I don't recall the name...I do vividly recall the theme and concept. It sounds simplistic but as parents we envision a wonderful life with our children like a vacation in France. Instead our children are not perfect and we realize that wonderful life will never happen. So...you have to adapt and find the good aspects of finding yourself in Belgium for example. Consider finding a therapist that you can turn to for support. Feel free to share your concerns here. All of us have experienced the peaks and valleys and the darn valleys are only understood by others who have been there. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. DDD [/QUOTE]
