raelien Report post Posted November 23, 2007 The dark within........... My greatest fears realised. The dark within consumes. I thought that this way my burden to bear but it seems to consume him too I cant tell him it will be alright I have no answers to give I never wanted anyone to know the pain in which I live His dreams are dark and frightening he wakes from slumber deep He tries to put it into words and is too scared to sleep I dont know how to fix this dark to make it go away I havent found the answers yet to make my pain fade so how can I help him so innocent and pure how can I tell him this is a life you must endure so silent tears I try to hide so not to let him know Im scared for him, I greive for him as the dark inside him grows ( Colin is 9, he is Aspergers, and possible duel dx of Bipolar Manic depression) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the day you have a wonderful and unique child who will bring you much joy and happiness inbetween the not so good times. Don't forget as well that you are not alone. <'> <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
