[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 147548, member: 3208"] Hi, my difficult child 2 wakes me up a lot at night--almost as bad as a baby, LOL! She is usually sobbing and full of angst over something but by the time we have just sat and talked for an hour or so she seems to feel better and can go to bed. I think I am starting to get it that she just needs reassurance that she is and will be okay and also talking seems to help even if there are no real solutions. Her therapist has told me that saying the words helps connect things in the brain (or something along those lines) so that talking about a problem actually can be helpful. Anyway, sounds like you are doing a great job--it is so hard when you want to be able to just wave a magic wand and make everything better and you can't! I am sure you are doing far more than you think or feel you are doing. Jane [/QUOTE]
