[QUOTE="CambridgeLass, post: 359395, member: 54889"] I'm so sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. Your feelings are absolutely normal. My daughter was diagnosed in December aged 6 and it does feel like a bereavement. I cried rivers whereas my daughter just adjusted. It WILL get easier. Of course there will be ups and downs but each day is a new day. Your boy is still in the honeymoon phase. Doses will need tweaking and there is much to read about and learn. It takes time. Maybe ask at the clinic if there are any local groups. Do you have access to a psychologist as part of the team? I would use this service and get your husband along. Maybe ask him to look at this forum to see the kind of experiences people have. You shouldn't have to go through your worries alone, he needs to be supporting you.
