[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 584542, member: 13542"] This is very good news. Great job! Those support groups for parents are so terrific, I hope you get in one. The first time I sat in one of those and looked around, I took this deep breath and thought, these people know what I'm talking about (!) finally I was someplace where not only did I feel as if I belonged, but I got some real life tools to use and ways to understand; received compassion for my plight as the parent and looks of empathy..... (which are worth a million dollars!) I'm happy you are finding so much support. That was my experience too, once I actually started looking around, I found all kinds of resources for my difficult child and for me. I think you're on the right track too, with your undying love for your difficult child and your amazing tenacity, you've found support and solutions. Whether he takes all the help or not is up to him, but I found, as the mom, that once I knew I had done my best, I had turned over every rock, I felt as if I did my very best as her mother and it was easier to detach then. You are SO on the right track! YAY! [/QUOTE]
