Lexi THANK YOU SO MUCH! Like you said, things that work for others don't work for him. I've raised 4 other children, but I've had to alter myself to be the mother He needs. In order to effectively do that, I need to "get inside his head" to figure out what His Needs are. And as you well know, it's hard for him to communicate them with me. The hardest thing a mother can do for her child is "nothing". If they're hungry, it's easy to figure out that you need to feed them. If they have a scratch, it's easy to put on a Band Aid. But when they're going through something you don't understand, & you don't know how to help them, it's the worst feeling in the world! I'm having trouble finishing this right now because I'm using my phone which WON'T STOP RINGING & it's messing up! I'll come back to this later.
