Heather thank you. I have read in several places lately how high the divorce rates are in families with special children. It is sad. When s was little h and I would talk about how amazing s was and how he accepted every challenge with a laugh and a smile. We said if we could bottle that laugh it could bring peace to the world.
My therapist (who is also a substance abuse counselor) theorizes that s challenges are part of a long list of stressors that send h to the bottle to avoid reality)
I am dreading/terrified of the day h moves out and wants split physical custody.
