[QUOTE="hhi, post: 638765, member: 18518"] I registered here quite a while ago and just came by to say hi. [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/offering-hope-information-ideas-very-long.59001/[/url] It is you -- all of you -- who held me together. Raising a difficult child is a process, and it does indeed take a village. And this place was a big part of my village. Two generations ago, in the rural parts of the US, every little town or cluster of homes would have the one wise old woman who was the guide to the rest. She was the midwife, the tutor, the expert on herbs, the advice giver. Now, we don't have that kind of village structure any more. But here, in this place, she exists again. In all of you. Your collective love, support, advice, perspective, objectivity, counsel, wisdom, humor, and undeniable connection, are what that wise old woman was to my grandmother's generation. So, dear ones, you have played a significant part in the lives of many. Helping them hold it together when they were falling apart. So thank you. All of you. It's a village thing. [/QUOTE]
