[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 8960, member: 3388"] You're a great group of people! I had to visit this site for a long time before I felt comfortable enough to join. I've never joined an on-line support group before. My computer skills are very minimal. I have two difficult children. They are almost exactly one year apart. My oldest will be 16 soon and his brother will be 15. It seems like there is never a dull moment!!! Having difficult children has definitely changed me. I feel as though I have lost a large chunk of my life. I'm looking forward to the time when they will no longer be living with me. At this point, I'm thinking about their futures and trying to do everything I can to help them become happy, productive, and self-sufficient. I think difficult child 1 will be able to make it on his own. Although he refuses to do anything he doesn't want to do, he is gifted when it comes to computers. He is taking college level computer classes in high school. Unfortunately, his only interests are computers and football. difficult child 2 is more of a problem when I try and think of him living on his own. He does very well academically but has absolutely no common sense and is extremely immature. He gets frustrated easily and still throws daily tantrums. He still needs help with showers, wiping himself after BMs, tying his shoes, etc. He thrives on routines and schedules. I've been researching programs for difficult child 2 and am looking into an after school program that teaches daily living skills. I dropped off an application last week and left a message for the teacher to call me today. I'm praying this works out!!! Well, I just wanted to say hello and tell you a bit about my situation. Reading your posts has helped me so much. I hope I'll be able to help some of you too. WFEN [/QUOTE]
