[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine has a SN child and I've watched her go thru these stages over and over again, but with time she is accepting more and more about his condition.  It broke my heart watching her come to terms with things.  She was furious at the docs that diagnosed him and lashed out at them.  And at the teachers who told her that he'd need a special aide to remain in their program.  Her child is really bad off and might not get to experience the things most of us want for our child--a husband/wife, kids, college, job.  I really feel for her and for all of you who have to go thru this.  I really admire your strength and the love you have for your child(ren).  :)[/quote]

I'm sorry, but these sort of "admiring posts" are not helpful in general and in this context are downright intrusive.  Do you admire the strength and love that other parents have for their children?  My child is MY CHILD.  OF COURSE I love her.  Ordinary parents need to get over the notion that special needs parents are somehow extraordinary for loving their own children.  That makes me so angry.

And referring to a child as "bad off."  Please don't do that.[/quote]
