Thanks julie. Yes, a part of me is happy that we finally know what's going on. Weve had years of struggling with a difficult child who is exceptionally intelligent but most of the time seems like she 'doesn't get it' if you know what I mean. The evaluators think she is probably in the gifted category, and as you probably know all gifted people are a little bizzare.

Yes it would appear our situations are similar. One distinct difference though is that your husband seems to want to run but this latest development is holding him back. In my case, my wife doesn't want to run and wants things to remain a they are. Commonly known as a cake eater. And now this 'issue' helps her cause, because now she will use it as an argunent against us separating.

She doesn't want to let go of me, of us, of our family. But she doesn't want in either. Its a tough spot to be in for a LBS.

Ill check out your thread today and see what's going on in your world wink

Keep your head up, and focus on your son. He needs you now more than ever.
