[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's always helped me to keep the future in perspective is this. I don't buy into everyone needing college and the over achievement attitude of this area. The goal is for my child to be self supporting and be able to move out. Of course I want more than the minimum for him, but I didn't know if that would happen. I keep my eye on the prize and always have a goal that leads to the end. I recognize that I can't work on everything at once and also that all goals have to be broken down into manageable parts. These are my goals for my son not his.

The hardest thing is the early teen years. During that time, I had to pick and choose battles, goals, etc. between the disability and the hormones, life was tough for everyone. I try to remember that it was worse to be him than to live with him. And there are some things you just have to let go until a time when is capable of being receptive to what you are trying to achieve. [/quote]

NP here. Thank you for this. [/quote]
