bec.....you are getting him help...you are getting help. It is a lot different than us growing up without support, help and encouragement. You and I both are again having the same type of issue. I often think that about Devon due to his aspergers. I try to stay focused on today and realize that I am doing everything I can do to help him. It is almost like grieving a loss too. I just imagine that later in life, now and forever....I will always be there for him. I know it sucks but we are trying are best to not repeat the pattern of abuse from our own past. We are doing that.....we really should be proud of ourselves.

I think you are doing a great job! I imagine that Devon will always be with me and maybe when he is older.....I hope to have a house with an in law suite and then he can stay there.......I used to picture a big blank to but not so much anymore.

I am not sure if this helped but you are not alone and we can help and support each other. Take Care and I wish you and Matt only the best....look how far you have come and how many things you have accomplished just this year alone.
