[quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you OP. I have felt the exact same way. I am also an over achiever. It is hard to accept that things will never be like what you dreamed. One thing that has helped me is to understand that being an over achiever typically involves a lot of control and the fact that our children have special needs is completely out of our control. I have taken that over achieving/control personality and spent an insane amount of time researching my child's special need, finding organizations that are doing research, and really trying to accept and use my skills and knowledge to help my child and other families. I have told myself that there has to be a reason this happened to our family and that we were meant to do something positive with it. This may sound silly but it has really pushed me on some of the worst days. Hugs to you!! You are doing a great job and your honesty is admirable!! [/quote]
