[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 430975, member: 11970"] Thank you all for the warm welcome and good ideas. I believe in structure and the firm foundation it gives our kids. I will give some thought to the suggestions about food. confuzzeled, it does not sound ridiculous to look at ptss, in fact it is proven that many parents of cancer kids (ck,) suffer pts. It stands to reason that the sibs might suffer too, and you are spot on with your analysis of what it was like. Parents of CK call their well children "the forgotten ones." Every ounce of energy goes to saving one kid's life and the others have to fend. Add to that the fact that divorce statistics in a family where a child is diagnosis with cancer are 85% and it's a double-whammy. When I look at the symptoms of depression and pts, gkg fits better in the latter description. I have thought that in passing about M, but I didn't put it together with emdr. That's a great idea. I'm going to check it out with therapist tomorrow. keista, thank you for the thoughts about how staying calm helps you. I've noticed that my stoic exterior seems to be a challenge to gkg. Can he break me? Can he make me react? He has to up the ante until he's out of control... but if I can stay calm hopefully I am modeling the behavior I expect from him. I've told him many times that swearing is not acceptable so if he hears me swear at all he flies off the handle. Yeah. Treading on eggshells. [/QUOTE]
