[QUOTE="Cotcha, post: 1393695, member: 381240"] Hi there. Just a quick response to really only solidify what everyone else have said. No-one learns to ride a bike by reading how to do it. It's all about learning on the move. There will be wobbles and bumps and occasionally you may even fall off, but over time you will find the road smoother. Be patient with yourself and acknowledge that there's only so much you can control. It's been 8 years since our son was diagnosed, but still we find moments when we are overwhelmed. One thing that I would like to add is that of course we need to be cautious of swamping our children with our worries, but do not feel you are doing anything wrong if you have moments when it is just too much. It's healthly to notice and acknowledge how we feel. [/QUOTE]
