[QUOTE="JLady, post: 253772, member: 6439"] Being fairly new to all of this and having 1 easy child grown and 1 easy child in HS, I can understand the statement that was made. It is plain ignorance. Those that have raised (or are raising) easy child's have no idea how to even begin to raise a child that has difficulties beyond anyone's control. With easy child's, you discipline, they grow, they learn and life goes on. Many times with difficult child we just get through the moment. I have a friend who has a child that is physically ill. He is in and out of the hospital and has constant physical complications. I have said to her a million times... 'I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could'. It is this same friend who is now saying to me.... You can do it. It will be ok. Last night I played with my difficult child for a while. I found myself just grabbing him and hugging him. I love him with all my heart and it breaks my heart that he has the problems he does. I don't understand it. I don't know what to do. I feel lost because I don't know how to help him. I'm learning but I'm in the boat labeled "how do you do it". Don't take it personal. Dealing with this day in and day out just seems impossible to those of us that have no idea how to do it.
