[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 588169, member: 13882"] Maybe, if you and husband are still going to marital therapy, you could bring this topic up in a roundabout way? I think for all parents of difficult child's, there's a fear of acknowledgment that there IS an issue, and a fear that the difficult child will use the diagnosis as a crutch to get away with outrageousness that would not normally be tolerated. It's a tough balance for a parent to discern which is which. Then there's the disappointment with how difficult child turns out and the guilt that goes along with those feelings that the parent has to grapple with, as well as difficult child's fear of "screwing up" and thus disappointing the parent(s) further. It's like a never ending cycle. [/QUOTE]
