Thank you so much - sorry, but I've only just seen this. (We've had a troublesome few days and the forum has been so busy it's been difficult to keep up!) It's so good of you to take the trouble to explain all this as I know you've got an awful lot going on in your own life too.
This series of posts has been so helpful and reading Anisty's experiences with his/her own children has been quite inspiring, despite all the difficulties described. It's comforting to realise those of us struggling with these problems are not alone!
This is the forum at its best - there is always someone knowledgeable out there to help you!
I hope Joanne will find all these replies as helpful as I have.
