[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 472947, member: 1514"] Dollphynn, I know that I too feel that I should take some responsibility for how my kid's were raised. I was an undiagnosed bipolar mother for most of my children's lives. They also got my genes and those genes ran down my maternal side. I was not the best parent to my kids and I know it. However if I am going to take part of the responsibility for the bad things that they do, I get to take part of the responsibility when they do something good. I have three boys. One is an Aspie that was never diagnosed because I failed to even notice it when he was young. That was on me. I wish I had that to do over but he is making great strides now. I have a middle son who is ADHD but has made pretty good decisions. He went into the Marines as a Military Policeman, did his 4 years, came out and got a job with the sheriff's department as an animal control officer and he is also a deputy sheriff. He loves his job and has been doing it since 2007. He bought a townhouse in 2008 and is pretty happy. My youngest is more of a problem but he is trying. We can only do what we can do. When we find out we have done something we need to stop, we stop. I had to throw out my youngest because it was best for him and me. When I did that he grew up and became so much better. He likes himself so much more. He feels like a man instead of a teen. When young men live at home they feel like teens and they really dont like that. I do have one who still lives at home and he is 30 so it may sound odd that I say this but he is the aspie one. He isnt violent or disrespectful to us. I do have a few issues with him but not many. He is planning on moving out soon...probably in the next 6 months or so. In the mean time he does help out with things. In fact he just bought me a new phone. Billy really isnt a problem. [/QUOTE]
