Dandy, your story, the entry you quoted... me to a T!!!! I grabbed a tissue after reading this - like finally! I see the light. I see the reasons behind all my struggles, AND I see the reasons to continue to push forward with my DS5.5. I really do not want him to become the quitter I have because he wasn't challenged, because things were easy, etc... and while I have no problems with accountants, he doesn't need to become one b/c he decided to quit on his dreams when what didn't come naturally easy to him slapped him in the face years down the line.

I have no advice, no words of wisdom, but wanted to ensure you that you are not alone in this, and to continue to push for your child's needs!
