[quote=Anonymous]NP here. You sound like a wonderful mom to me, OP. I think most people who have a 7 year old who is an outlier in behavior (?) like your son, would struggle in the exact same way. I think your feelings ARE the experience of processing that your son may not be the kid you expected. I'm white with a bisexual daughter. So, not exactly the same, but I also am crazy about my daughter, while inwardly sometimes wincing at her statements, behavior, appearance. It's fear mostly. I am in therapy and I do meditate-- I recommend both. Also the suggestion upthread about possibly introducing your kid to Theatre kids-- I thought that was a good idea. My kid is not interested, but to be creative you have to blaze your own path, and can't follow totally in someone else's footsteps, so I think creative kids would be a good possible community. Hugs to you. You're doing a good job already, but it will be easier with help.[/quote]
