[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183665, member: 1991"] Thanks, Bran. We're a team. As you can see, it is important to know what he is experiencing too. husband & I do try to work together but it's never perfect. All we can do is the best we can, we shouldn't beat ourselves up for not always getting it perfect. We make mistakes. We talk about it and then pick up and go on from there. husband has been posting here (but only occasionally) for over a year now. But he's been lurking a lot longer, he reads posts here almost every day. It has really helped us stay "in sync" with meeting difficult child 3's needs. And even though we have thought we were communicating effectively, we found we were doing even better once he started lurking here. Sometimes I put something in a post which I thought I'd already said to him, but reading it has made it more obvious to him. And sometimes when we write it down, we put it more clearly, too. That's why I recommend encouraging our partners to lurk or post, where they can manage it. But not to be too hard on them if they can't, for whatever reason. Marg [/QUOTE]
