[quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids have SN. I have an old friend who's a single parent of a child the same age as one of mine. Even before it became apparent that my kids had SN, it was very apparent that her DS did. By the time he was 3, there'd been a number of incidents that led my DH and I to agree that it was not safe to leave him alone with my smaller kids. My friend always had an excuse for him. A few years later, she did seek evaluations and he was diagnosed by KKI and Children's as bipolar and narcassistic tendancies. She definitely has a huge burden and we helped her as long as we could but I eventually had to distance myself because she made choices that made it difficult for me to continue to support her. She hasn't 'owned' those choices. Maintaining a friendship with her took more energy than I had. I'm sure she thinks it's because of her SN child but it's not really the child that caused me to distance myself, it was her.[/quote]
