well, you should be forgiving towards yourself. any missteps that are made you make up for 100 fold, always. what i read in these posts is the very obvious NEED to connect with your little one, the very deep love you feel for her. the empathy thing will happen, but the love thing is obviously there, in progress, and that’s what matters most.

you: an inspiration, through and through. your words mean more to me than you can know, thank you jess.

Once again, you have so eloquently said what I needed to hear. We have all had our “Ballet shoes” Moments. For me and my son it was me not being able to find the treasured “Thomas the tank engine” train on demand, or not being able to keep His baby sister from crying. It is so hard to forgive ourselves…..but its so important that we do! Thank you (again) for your Blog!

I hear you — and I’ve always thought love was the most important part of this journey — but I type this with tears in my eyes because something’s happened recently to E where he’s questions my love. Or rather he says he thinks I love G more because he gives me “less trouble.” Heartbreaking. I just hope I can get him to believe again.

We all have our “ballet shoes” moment (I know I have several). What we all don’t have is someone to so eloquently remind us to forgive ourselves, because that is what’s best for our children too. We’re still potty training autistic child #2 this week, and I REALLY needed these last few posts!
