[QUOTE="tessaturtle, post: 28398, member: 3510"] I think a lot of the men cope that way (not to be stereotypical...but...). Its tough on all of us, but I think that for some men its tough in different ways. Not only is this their child that is going through this, but (when its their son) its their buddy, their little man. We all have expectations for our kiddos (even just to be happy, successful, and productive citizens)and those expectations tend to get blown out of the water for a bit when 'dealing' with our difficult child's. We have to step back and reevaulate our expectations and either change them or just remind ourselves that it may take longer and smaller steps are required. Just like most women I know, we handle being sick better. Most of my friends' husbands/boyfriends are the hugest babies when they are ill. Try not to take it to hard, but I know where you are coming from as far being emotional. I never used to be emotional, but since difficult child has had his many problem the past year, I cry easily. (((((((hugs))))))))) [/QUOTE]
