T...I think this is a very important point to make. The older I get (I'm 25), the more I'm realizing that I do have gaps in my knowledge that my parents never considered because I give off an intelligent vibe. I'm just not aware of what those gaps are until I am faced with one directly. I'm not able to just make a list of them because I don't always know what I don't know.<br /><br />Something to keep in mind as she gets older might be to keep a list of her areas of difficulty, which it sounds like you probably do already, at least mentally, from being her parent for so long. It also might be helpful to keep a list of her needs - you mentioned in a later post her need for a doctor to ask very specific questions. That way, if she's comfortable, she can start to be up-front with people in different situations about what she needs in order to be able to handle that situation properly. This is actually the point I am at right now - trying to discover what my needs are and where those gaps are, and then working with someone to figure out what I can do about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
