Hi BA,

It is hard to determine what Ryan would want. He doesn't react to much although the nurses always mention how much he lights up when I am around. This does my heart good!

In MY heart - I feel that his visits with his dad are important. I want what is best for Ryan. And I don't want to HURT Chuck. But he has never acted in anyone's best interest but his own. The key here is that I have not made any changes. Sometimes my ex forgets the rules. Acts like its all new to him. He is just so off on his own cloud. THen if he doesn't like it - everyone has to hear it. So annoying and stressful.


Raising Ryan has been so very tough. Harder because he was not born with his disability - acquired it at age 4 during a severe illness. So sad. But I'm determined to give him the best life ever and find ways to cope with it all.

No, I don't think increased visits would help. Ryan does better in his own home with his caregivers. His father does not help. If he did - that might be different.
