Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Parents of GT kids are isolated, too

Welcome! You have come to the right place. You will find much more understanding here I am sure. However, I would also encourage you to find some people in real life you can share things with as well. I don't have many, but a few that I know I can say things to that they aren't going to give me any uncomfortable looks. I do at times resent the fact that I can't talk about my kids like others can, but I've become more proactive in finding people I can share things with either on-line or in day to day interactions. I do want to share the heartaches of not knowing what to do, and school struggles...but I also do want to share how amazing he is at times because I am proud of him and who he is (whether I want to say I am proud he shared with his sister, or I am proud of him for his ability to do math problems...either way I am proud and want to share). I held back long enough.
