[QUOTE="071802, post: 730923, member: 22950"] Hello everyone. I am genuinely touched by all of your concerns, humanity is a wonderful thing. Freida, you mentioned that what helped you and your child was letting go and what you thought fired into the ‘norm’ I am not there yet and expect her to think and do things that others of her age, i.e when I ask her to load the dishwasher, I expect her to know to switch it on once it’s full, she however doesn’t see how I would expect that. The accident with my son was an accident, however it was provoked by her. I just can’t believe that she doesn’t care about the fact that he almost died, that she actually almost didn’t have a brother anymore. My youngest son has sensory processing disorder (SPD), and has had multiple therapy sessions, he also has a weighted blanket, which is very very useful when he is having a meltdown. He is an avoider with his tactile sense, and eating has always been challenging. I feel sad that my daughter feels like she is ‘broken’ and ‘different’ and I don’t know what else to do to help. She has also had auditory and visual disturbances, the psychiatrist for teenagers said that she thinks the voice is my daughters own thoughts of anxiety, and that we need to get her an eye test to determin what they visual disturbances are. My daughter has asked me not to mention it to her dad (my husband) because she thinks he won’t understand. Thank you all so so so very much for all your insight, experiences, info, and suggestions. Please keep on my thread with me. [/QUOTE]
