[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 37329, member: 3485"] Like Jane, we try to be open about difficult child, and in our case both family and friends ask about difficult child and celebrate her achievements and mourn her failures as we do; we are very fortunate in that respect. My parents, difficult child's step-grandparents, have come far: 8 years ago my dad told me that difficult child wasn't [i]his[/i] granddaughter. Last week he made a point of asking us to convey to her that she is very welcome and wanted at their 50th anniversary family reunion (this is a very big deal). The above applies outside of work. I have been reticent about difficult child at work, mainly because I am naturally somewhat reserved and nobody talks a lot about their families, good or bad. I have recently been more frank with my boss, and he has been very sympathetic and accomodating and "in my corner", so to speak. Above him information is strictly need-to-know only, they are perfectly capable of misusing personal information. Oh, and I read "Goodnight, Moon" to the kids many times but I don't recall exactly how it goes anymore. [/QUOTE]
