[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493626, member: 12886"] This is what got to me. My sisters, though we have had bumps because in the moment, it is so hard when any child is bothering another child.... have all tried to teach their kids that Q has special needs and that we need to be more understanding. They dont offer me much support on a routine basis and we did come to a point where I had to directly through tears tell them that they had broken their promise to me even before Q was adopted, that no matter what, even if he had intense special needs, they would help me. They were the ones that pushed me when I wanted to adopt. I was throwing out realistic thoughts like, what if he is super needy etc.... and they were thinking with their hearts. That talk worked and they have really upped their efforts and even if not directly with him, they call me and listen to me when needed. They always do their best to support him and come to events for him etc. He gets presents etc. from them just the same as all the rest of the kids. So, in this situation... the fact that they show no effort to understand that is what really got me. Not only that, but that they provoked him so much. it seems evil. no matter how human they are--with the right to get frustrated, I just dont get that at all. Your story made me thank my family and friends for their support. It just broke my heart. I think you made a great decision to leave and to not go back. We only have one chance to do the parent thing right with each child. You dont need that stress and complication in an already difficult process. Life is too short. [/QUOTE]
