Backing off

My husband has decided we're not doing any of this DAN stuff any more. We might keep JF on a dairy-free diet for the sake of his asthma, and we might keep him on the multi-vitamin, the probiotics, and the fish oils. But everything else is just too much for him.

I could argue with him about it, but I think that would just make things worse. It seems everything I do to support the biomedical approach just backfires. I'm just going to be grateful he's willing to consider the dairy-free diet and a few supplements.

I deleted my earlier comment. I just want you to know that I feel your frustration.

Please do everything you can to work things out so you and your husband can work together on this. Whatever the decisions are you both need to be in agreement. You can't hold any resentment in or it will eat away at you.

Good luck!

Thank you, MWAM. I appreciate your comments, even the original one. :)

I agree with you that my husband & I need to work things out and do only the things that we both agree on. It's just very frustrating.

And I agree with you that I shouldn't hold in resentment. As we continue to talk about it, I try to keep in mind his perspective. He's not doing this to piss me off; He's doing this because he loves our son as much as I do.
