[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom w/ a special needs child and we have a very difficult time making/keeping friends. It's getting a little easier now that he's had a few years of meds & therapy but, those aren't miracle cures - we still have issues. I'm wrestling w/ my own feelings atm because, although I am very empathetic, I'm having a hard time dealing w/ my son's new friend who also has issues & hurts my son in anger. I'm friends w/ his mom, don't want my son to get emotionally or physically hurt, don't want to offend anyone, don't want the other little boy's feelings to get hurt, don't want my son to regress, trying to be supportive, & understanding - all at the same time! It's a very stressful juggling act we play & i don't claim to be the perfect clown. I watch them like hawks & if behavior starts to slide & nothing's done about it, my son & I simply leave. I want my son to have friends & be caring & compassionate but, I won't allow him to be a punching bag either. Right or wrong, this is where I/we are right now.. just trying to figure it out.. as always lol[/quote]
