[quote=Anonymous]I understand where you are coming from. My husband and I are both high achieving and with 2 SN kids it is hard navigating extra challenges on top of the usual kid ones. The journey never ends, and I feel like I can never die otherwise who would look out of them? We're doing everything we can now while they're kids to help them be as functional as possible in adulthood. It is a journey itself figuring out services, treatments, etc...With us having connections in the medical community, it has helped get them the care they need quickly so that's been a plus. We've managed to save so we can provide them a trust to at least cover basic needs if they can't be gainfully employed. Now that I'm years from the diagnosis, I think of the Kubhler Ross Stages of Grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I'm between the depression/acceptance part, and it took a long time to get there. That's ok. [/quote]
