[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 177803, member: 805"] It sounds to me, as an outsider, that your daughter handled this intense program very well. She was socializing with the other girls, exchanging phone numbers, and performed great! I'm sure that today will go well and will be exciting having other family in attendance. I wonder if perhaps you are waiting for something to happen? I don't say that lightly. As the parents of difficult children, sometimes we are just waiting to exhale. We are so tunneled into thinking there will be an issue and what we are going to do about it, that we don't go about the business of living. I wonder if you have a personal therapist? It may help for you to speak with someone that can help you get your perspective back. Your daughter is not the only one suffering from PTSD. A therapist just may be able to help you get on with the [B]really[/B] living and smile first instead of worry. They could also help you realize that your dual feelings of sorrow and relief regarding your son are perfectly normal. Have a wonderful time at the performace today and take that joy that comes with pride in our children and hold it in your heart for as long as possible. Hugs. Sharon [/QUOTE]
