> I appreciate you saying that...it is completely overwhelming at times and my husband and I feel completely helpless at times. We are both over-achievers and just expected our kids to do the same. I love him for who he is but we worry about his future...what happens when we're gone and not able to protect him...will he be able to marry and sustain a relationship...and sometimes I feel like we're not doing enough...like this is the one class/course or degree I won't pass. This situation causes a lot of strife in our marriage as well...especially where discipline is concerned for him. Really knowing what he cannot control and when he is hoodwinking us...he is a very smart kid...he just learns differently and we are trying to balance between how much compromise needs to be made between his view of the world and society's view.I agree and AMEN all that has been said. Something that you need to seriously think about is what are you doing to take care of yourself? This is so easily shoved aside in a situation such as yours. No matter what, your son is in God's hands. You need to be healthy mentally and physically to be of help to your son and the rest of your family.
I want to continue supporting you and your struggle, but perhaps we should shift this discussion to parenting before Dr. Bob redirects us there!!(No offense Dr. Bob, you're the greatest!) If you post there I'll be there too. Hornet
