[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think what you have voiced is what a lot of parents feel, though not always because they have a child with special needs. Some feel that way because their child got involved with drugs, or took on causes or a lifestyle that make them feel distant from the rest of the family, or became severely anorexic or decided to move to another continent. All of us have moments of disappointment with our children for various reasons, high achieving or not. We all enter into parenthood with a certain set of expectations and when those aren't met, it's disappointing. I don't think there is anyone who has had a special needs child that doesn't long for what it would have been like to have a different kind of relationship. You're just one of the brave ones who admits it. Hugs, I understand.[/quote]
