[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400016, member: 1991"] We really can't compare. How I cope with my family might not be as effective as how you cope with yours. We just don't know. Sometimes I might read a thread where I want to smack someone over the back of the head. Sometimes I read a thread and realise, "I've got it good by comparison." But then - such threads can help me keep alert to potential problems and head them off before they can really develop. It's all good. And no, I never felt I wanted to smack you! Where I've got a lot out of this forum, has been in the collective intelligence stiffening my own spine when it came to advocating for what my child needed form the education system. However, it is different for everybody. We each take away what is there for us, and give back what we can within our own experience. And you do have experience in some areas. Never sell yourself short. Or I WILL come round there and smack you over the back of the head! Seriously - there are some wonderful friendships here, even though some of the problems are so widely varied. And some of us eventually find a way through and see our difficult children turn into PCs! Marg [/QUOTE]
