[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373004, member: 1872"] ML, thank you for bringing up the term battle fatigue. I've never thought of it in those terms. For so many years I have been ignoring battle fatigue and powering/staggering through it. For us warrior parents, battle fatigue is so often not an option in our way of thinking. For me, it was not a part of my self-image, or how I defined myself as a parent. I preferred to be relentless. For the first time in the past few months, I'm learning to identify and respect battle fatigue -- even surrendering to it from time to time. Nothing bad happened (no yawning chasm erupting in the backyard because I don't feel like taking 13 to neurofeedback) -- I just got some rest. This has been a great learning experience for me. So anyway -- this isn't a comment about the speech therapy, I just wanted to thank you for mentioning battle fatigue so I could reflect on it for awhile. [/QUOTE]
