[QUOTE="keista, post: 431774, member: 11965"] [COLOR=purple][B][SIZE=5]Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!![/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] While I don't think that extended family needs to know any details of therapy sessions, once you do get a diagnosis that you are comfortable with, I think you should let those family members that do show support, know, so they can be educated. My sisters were easy. I told them XYZ go research and also check out PDQ too, Oh, and by the way you WILL recognize Dad in there. My Aunt was harder because I think she is the only truly "normal" person I know and just cannot fathom that a "child's individual differences" should have a label. This was regarding my son. Now with DD1, one sister is on board, the other thinks the answers are easy, and the Aunt again just cannot fathom what such a young child has to be depressed about and that all kids are scared(anxious) about something. My Dad and his wife? They have no clue about any diagnosis. They just know that my kids have "issues" and that I'm a great mom, and doing the best I can for them. [/QUOTE]
