[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 334902, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome-- First, it's OK to struggle with accepting your child's diagnosis. In some ways, you do have to 'grieve'. You grieve for what might have been.... That's OK. There's really no reason to bring anyone else along. Then, after you get over the initial shock and disappointment--you will move into the "OK, so what can I do about this?" phase. At that point, you will have to decide whether the boyfriend is someone who can assist you....or whether he is dealing with too much of his own issues right now to be a positive influence. If he's mentally and emotionally available for this challenge? Great! And if he's not? Better to be honest and up front about it. If the relationship needs to take a break while he gets himself together, that's OK, too. Sending ((((hugs))) and support... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
