Firstly you do share the ups and down...awww thanks.<br />Firstly you do share the ups and downs, on facebook certainly at least.<br />secondly, there's no way I could write this coherent a post when it was actually happening. my writing is all based on my fb posts at the time. I had to be very guarded after a certain point on fb about the realities of living with Dovi. But I remember these incidents very well.<br />My method for writing, is going through my fb posts of several months at a time, copying and pasting whatever looks relevant ,and then dividing them into severel coherent posts that cover the same topic. I also comb through my photos of that time frame as well as my amazon purchases at the time to provide links .The most fun part is coming up with pseudonyms for all the different people and organizations involved :D. and then keeping track of who they really are!!Dovi's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832969333062206405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690082237623994514.post-1253250146590910102017-12-12T20:32:24.548-08:002017-12-12T20:32:24.548-08:00Someday I have to figure out how to get the koach ...Someday I have to figure out how to get the koach to write the kinds of posts you write with all the background info and detailed drama that completely unleashes your kishkas on the screen.

My initial reaction to that comm...Thank you miriam.<br />My initial reaction to that comment - after the initial shock and anger and bruise to my self esteem - was to sarcastically retort, "You're right! Indeed, we have not had any more kids since then!"<br />However, the one thing that really surprised me was Carlee's statement that I was 'happy to ship them off to institutional care.' Show me ONE place in this entire blog where I am remotely 'happy' about having to place Dovi. Not only won't you find happy, you won't even find 'okay with it'. If anyone has spent five minutes reading the blog, they will see that the decision to place Dovi came after weeks and months and years of fighting against it tooth and nail, and with tears and therapy and a lot of outside pressure. No mother is 'happy' when their severely autistic child needs to be placed. Ultimately it was for Dovi's benefit, as his quality of life is way better in a setting where he has a staff of hundreds at his beck and call, where every behavior is documented and addressed, and where he can learn life skills he just can't learn at home. Yes, I'm happy - happy that he is thriving in his new place and not miserable there. I'm happy he's being cared for by wonderful people, who actually care about Dovi, unlike most of the aides who worked here over the years.<br />As for getting 'staff paid for by the state' - Dovi is clearly a very disabled individual, and disabled individuals are eligible to get homecare workers. This is not some new, earth shattering revelation. Com Hab workers, respite workers, homecare workers all exist for a reason and are funded for a reason.<br />The only person who can truly understand the extreme challenges of parenting a child with severe behavior issues is someone who is a parent of a severely autistic child herself. I don't expect anyone else to understand. But I do expect them to be respectful, and not making scathing, cutting comments on these entries, where I pour out my heart and soul, make myself vulnerable, and am brutally honest about my personal shortcomings.<br />Comments like these make me consider stopping to write. They are not fun.Dovi's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832969333062206405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690082237623994514.post-79691524294533080792017-10-23T01:40:39.676-07:002017-10-23T01:40:39.676-07:00@Carlee -

I cannot fathom what the author's life was like, but reading this blog and other things she's written has at least given me enough to know I cannot judge the situation! I cannot fathom the constant adrenaline levels necessary to supervise such a child, and remember, after adrenaline comes a crushing fatigue. I know enough to know I cannot judge the author. I also know there is undoubtedly more to any story than you can glean from a blog.
