[QUOTE="DDD, post: 405352, member: 35"] I'm sorry, Jena. Many of us have lost contact with friends over the years just due to the unusual needs of our children. It's very sad. Thank heavens we have the CD family. Since you're thinking about it anyway, lol, what do you think they are trying to avoid? Do they think she was hospitalized because she was a danger to others? Did you suggest meeting for an hour at a park instead of them coming to your house or her to theirs? Some of us have shared too much info with friends and had them disappear while others have skirted the issues which made outsiders fear that we had a raving maniac in our family. Also...do you think difficult child can actually go somewhere with-o extreme anxiety? How long can she self sustain? Perhaps a children's art group at the Y? I'm assuming that GSA would be too much for her to cope with right away but some girl scout leaders are very sensitive to the needs of children who are a little different. As lonely as she is I would assume it's better to avoid situations that would make her or the other child/children uncomfortable. Sorry you're having to face this concern. by the way....how did your easy child react to her home party? Prior posts of yours sounded like she had anxiety about going anywhere and I wondered if having her friends at the house worked out well (even with difficult child melting down on the other side of the house).
