  • hi there.

    This is not an answer to your post, but you are not alone. I am right there with you.  Our 3 and half yr old son was diagnosed 7 months ago.  I still can't believe i have been chosen to live this hell.  Our other 5 yr old son is perfect to us, and I feel my life is currently in bits.  When our youngest was born, I had such a positive outlook but now it feels like we will never be a properly functioning family.  I try to be positive but it is so up and down on an hourly basis. It wears me out. I have had to give up work and the emotions I feel include guilt, pity, injustice, confusion and above all anger. I hate myself for being so angry and negative. There are great moments like when our son achieves something but it is hard to remember these in the crisis moments.  Like you I am currently looking for answers and help.  I hope there are people out there who can give us "new-comers" some words of support.  This is surely a path well-trodden, and I need to know how to find a positive attitude to help me and my family deal with this.
