[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 558640, member: 1991"] Tell your ex to not dump this load on your daughter, and not to take issue with you. Instead, tell him to argue with the doctor. if he insists that the doctor will only say what you have given him permission to, then tell him to say that to the doctor as well. tell him to either put it in writing to the doctor, or make a written list of his concerns and take each of them up with the doctor. Until he does this, he has no right to challenge the diagnosis. As for "I've got to have one normal kid, don't I?" NOBODY gets to have that as a right. We have to take what we get. By behaving this way he is losing out on spending quality time appreciating the two wonderful kids he does have. Nobody is perfect. Not you, not I, not him. Not the kids. My eldest daughter was born with a funny cast in her eye and a malformed retina. My firstborn was not perfect as I had thought she should have been. My second baby was very demanding and screamed constantly. My third baby always knew what she wanted even if it was not what I knew she needed. She was a challenge. Still is. My third seemed the easiest baby, until we realised at age 1 that he was not responding to anything said to him and didn't seem to even recognise his own name. I love all my kids. I also work to help them with their issues, we work as a team. I show them how I value them ads they are, how they can value themselves for their abilities and find ways around their deficits. It's what we do as parents. Good luck with this one, but don't engage him. Tell him to engage the doctor, and let the doctor have it with all barrels. And warn the doctor to stand firm, your kids need it. Marg [/QUOTE]
