[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 217570, member: 3388"] Totoro, Sometimes no matter what you do, you can't get the family to see things from a realistic viewpoint. I hope that you won't ever have to make really tough decisions for your girls, but, if that time ever comes, don't let your extended family make things harder on you. For what it's worth, in my humble opinion, you're doing an excellent job raising your daughters. It is so smart to try to have a plan in place, just in case... If my grandmother was anything like your mother in law, I'm sorry you have to deal with this sort of ignorance, for lack of a better word. I had to detach from my grandmother as soon as difficult child 1 was born - a long story. I need to spend some time in PE. I hardly ever get over there - not enough time in the day. Anyway, I know I could use some advice from more experienced parents than myself. I just hate feeling so out of control and scared when it comes to difficult child 2's future. As parents of difficult children, we have to be tdocs, teachers, advocates, etc... without any formal training. It SVCKS!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
