[quote=Anonymous]I never know what to say or how she feels.  I sense something is wrong when her mood changes all of the sudden when she sees my 11 mo old interact with husband and me.  Her child is 3, has cerebral palsy (cant walk, talk, crawl).  I always ask her how she is doing and how her DD is doing.  Whenever she hints at being overwhelmed or stressed out about DD i tell her I am always here if she needs me.  When my 11mo old tries to interact with DD she becomes very protective but then says that she wishes that DD had more child interaction.  I try to engage DD as much as I can (but also have issues about whether there is an "appropriate" way to do so).

Anyway, sometimes I decide not to visit them because of the mood changes and because sometimes I feel we cause more stress than anything else.  (a small part of me feels guilty about my circumstances...i know that is a separate issue)  She also says that she is sad that she has no friends with kids that visit them.
