[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630775, member: 17269"] JKF, that lady was awesome. She told you just what you needed to hear in a way you could hear it. I remember when people started saying that to me...when the tone shifted from "what can we all do to help difficult child?" to "difficult child is responsible for engaging with us and following the rules to get the help he needs. If now...there is no help." I was shocked, hurt, mad. I still saw him as a cute little boy with disabilities...they saw him as a big bearded recalcitrant man who wouldn't do for himself. Ouch. They were right. It took me about a year, but eventually I figured out that no one was just going to "take difficult child on" as they had when he was little. That was over. So scary and upsetting for me. You took it well. I'm glad she said it. It resonates for all of us. Hugs today, Echo [/QUOTE]
