[quote=Anonymous]I think OP's point is that it can be hard to let your kid lead his her own life....because as parents we have OUR hopes and dreams based in out experience. Some hopes about which we are not aware (I was always very athletic and assumed my kids would be as well - not the case. I never struggled with reading our attention issues, that is not the case with my children). I didn't realize my assumptions and it took awhile to comprehend. It's been an adjustment and I had to realize my hope for them was not who the kid is and what he/she wished to develop. My close friend whose child has severe disabilities talked about this and that letting go allowed her to better love her kid. These adjustment relate to physical abilities, motivation, academic abilities, talents, interests, sexuality, so many things. So good luck OP. I get it.[/quote]
