[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 78649, member: 1967"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">. . . it's not the sort of thing I will discuss with my friends. </div></div> You know, I felt that way for a long time, too. I thought everyone else had easy child's (perfect children) and I didn't want to tell them about our problems with difficult child. It is very isolating to have to live like that. I finally started opening up to close friends and was amazed to hear story after story of problems that they were having with their children also. In fact, I'm come to believe that there isn't a family out there that doesn't have difficult child problems at one point or another. While I didn't go into details with casual acquaintances when they asked how difficult child was doing (I usually replied with a joking remark like "oh, she's finding herself and it is going to kill me if she doesn't do it soon"), I started being honest with friends and coworkers that were close to me. It felt like a burden being lifted off my shoulders. Of course, being active on the CD board helped immensely, too. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
