[QUOTE="sail24, post: 729173, member: 5751"] We could have written this letter. Sorry, our boys are very similar. This is what our therapist said to me today. "I know you want to love and nurture that little boy you loved, but that little boy doesn't exist anymore. Look at him as he is now or you won't be able to help him". Your wife may need to hear this. Yes it was brutal, but she's right. I have to detach emotionally so I can possibly help him. Enabling him will only destroy my life. My husband and I will love our son as much as we can, but we've given ourselves the gift of putting the rest of the family first. Our son has been given every possible type of help available to him since he was 4 years old. That's a lot of different types of therapy. [/QUOTE]
