[quote=Anonymous]I have no experience with this, but remember the movie "Mr Holland's Opus?" Mr. Holland is a musician. He and his wife have a deaf child. He's devastated. His reaction is that his son has to learn to talk and read lips and act as normal as possible. He blows up at his wife when he catches her signing to the son. She fights back,saying that the little boy is frustrated and she is frustrated because he can't communicate and if signing helps him do that, then she's going to learn how to sign right along with the little boy. Mom and Dad have a huge fight. It takes a long time for him to accept his son's differences. Yes, I know life is not a movie. I just think your H's response to your child's limitations is a lot like Mr. Holland's. Life Mr Holland he'll probably get there eventually, but his reaction now is anger. [/quote]
