[QUOTE="Pitario, post: 335086, member: 8823"] Dammit Janet you made me cry. That is a very thought provoking story. Thank you to all who have replied so far, you have no idea how much your input is appreciated. It is so difficult to speak to others about this because they have no idea what emotions, frustrations, and bewilderment go along with all of this. Daisy Face - I realized today that I am grieving. I am grieving for the life I wanted for more daughter, the easier life. I'm hoping she will be able to learn coping strategies so she will have the fullest life possible. nvts - you mentioned a neuropsychologist. I will have to google this and find out more about it. I will be seeing my daughters doctor in a few weeks and will discuss this with him. A more specific diagnosis may be an answer. LittleDudsMom - I will stay positive and will not forget that my daughter is my number 1 and I will go to the end of the earth for her. Everyone else will have to accept that or they can move on. Marguerite - You, along with everybody else, give some very good advise. You are correct, I do need to make sure the boyfriend is serious about his sobriety (and us). I have also thought that he is needy at this point and I was okay with that until yesterday. Right now I have to focus on my daughter and if he isn't serious than I must move on. I will be talking to him within the next few days. gcvmom - Do you and Marguerite talk to each other first before posting? :winking: Both of you have pretty much summed up everything I have been thinking on the boyfriend front. You have also made some valid points on the direction, or change of direction, that my daughter and my, lives have taken. Now, a couple of other questions I have. This one is pretty blunt but...will my daughter ever lead a "normal" life? By normal, I mean, if all of the supports are put into place for her and we work hard will she be able to attend College or University? I know nobody can see the future but good news stories are most welcome. Also, what do all of the acronym's stand for (gbg, gbh, etc. not exact but close enough :blushing:) [/QUOTE]
