[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 572981, member: 11847"] My kids are very young, just like yours. And so far, I cannot say I have come to terms with it... I am not really sad about V's issues and sometimes even pretend every thing is fine. Not denial really, just "he is doing good right now, it's not so bad after all". And then comes a reminder that V is really different. I still struggle to use the word special needs to describe V, although I am very well aware that he fits the category. Then I think of real drama: the loss of a child for example. Not that V's issues aren't real, but there are worse things in life. I try to put things in perspective. Just like Insane, I also indulge in comparing his quirks with mine and husband's. Makes me smile and conforts me to think that V is much like husband and myself. I also sometimes look at Partner, a problem free child and so easy going. And wonder... maybe he will be a handful as a teen and V will be the easy going one. One just does not know what the future holds for our kids. I try to enjoy life today, with its challenges. Find what is normal for us. Not think of what could have been, but what can be. Buddy is right, it is a process. [/QUOTE]
