[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639906, member: 14557"] That An Error in the World thing has kind of became clearer to me while getting to know and dealing with our respite kid. With difficult child things were often one exhausting mess. With respite kid I'm well rested and prepared before they come and have time to think after they leave before the next visit. So my theory is that there is always a gap between how person wants things to be and how they are. And while everyone is prone to wishful thinking in some degree, typical people are quite good at making a difference between how things are and what they wish. And after seeing the difference they tend to either try to change how things are or adapt to them. Some pissing and moaning on the side but still moving on with it. With my difficult child and our respite kid it seems that first seeing the difference between what is and their wish is more difficult. And even after they recognise the difference they don't really know how to move forward from that. They stay stuck to that recognition of The Error that exists and don't see the way to move on without some outside guidance. [/QUOTE]
