Hi Hopeful - I'm hopeful for you too!! smile

I know that you have probably explored all the options available to assist in some way with taking some time out (for both of you) from D16. I understand and completely respect how committed you are to caring for your daughter, but we know the experience around the world is that families need support to manage highneeds children and particularly as they get older.

Are there any services or networks in your area you could tap into to get both a change of scenery for your daughter, but also some respite for you and H?

As high needs children get older, they benefit from additional social interaction and new routines.

The pressure of caring for your daughter will continue to be a hot button issue for both of you - and perhaps if you've always done everything for her, getting some help might be a 180?

For what it's worth.

Blessings. V
