[QUOTE="Malika, post: 493580, member: 11227"] Oh dear, I couldn't help laughing when I read the excerpts from your book. A holy encounter? Hmmm, I'll try to remember that when my son is screaming and shouting because he doesn't want to want to put his jacket on in sub-zero temperatures. I'll bet Sally Patton doesn't have a difficult child herself... Sorry, I'm sounding as cynical as your husband. There [B]is[/B] something in what she's saying, of course - that if you truly accept something, however difficult, it does turn the whole experience round but... really it's more realistic to talk about the inevitable grief, despair and loneliness that at least initially goes along with having a child who is different and difficult. To speak of the "higher potential" of the experience without addressing the murky depths seems to me... rather unreal. [/QUOTE]
