Okay, I'm new to all of this since my son has just been recently diagnosed. I just have a few questions.
How many of you have discovered after your children have been diagnosed that you have a problem as well?
How many of you have more than one difficult child?
I ask both of these questions for a reason. I have started doing some research about myself and believe I may have ADD/ADHD. I have struggled with my own issues for years, but never really thought to go seek professional help. It is very frustrating to me because I look back on my teenage years and wish I could have gotten help then. It would have made my life much easier.
Also, I have noticed my youngest easy child exhibiting behaviors very similar to my difficult child's behaviors at his age, although not quite as severe. I'm hoping that we don't have the same issues with her. My son has a different bio father, so I think some of his issues come from there, but as I said previously, I think I may have some as well.
