[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 539957, member: 11791"] Go easy on yourself. It's not like YOU dropped him on his head or something... Perfect parents don't exist... but neither do perfect teachers or perfect schools... and so, there'a whole lot more to the equation than just you. On top of that? difficult child may well be right that there was little you could have done. In our case... WE knew from part way through kindergarten that there were serious issues. ONE issue got attention in grade 1. The rest didn't get diagnosed and/or properly accommodated until HIGH SCHOOL. And there wasn't a thing I could have done to make that different. It turns out that the testing he needed to have done, to reveal the needed dxes... simply wasn't known or available in our part of the world. So... it's PTSD due to bullying and such. The best you can do now is be supportive as he works his way through it... which is likely all you could have really done in the first place, but it would have happened sooner... [/QUOTE]
