[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 140879, member: 1233"] Well, my oldest is the difficult child, so I am not sure our situation fits. He has not given us much grief about medications, as he doesn't like being suicidal - and he is with-o medications. While my daughter is younger, she does have opinions on how we should have handled things, but since things were hidden from us, and we are not omniscient, we didn't. I think that you are, and have been, doing the best you could with what you have. Your typical teen's opinions are probably never going to think you handled things right, until/unless THEY have difficult children. Personally, we have told our daughter to keep her parenting ideas in a notebook, so that she can share them with her husband when she gets married. because generally they are not helpful to us, and we are not interested in being bashed everytime she decides she is smart than us. But that is how it plays out here. Probably not a good idea to place a lot of weight on the advice from a teen who has no children nor much life experience, esp in the complicated arena of difficult child rearing. Just MHO. [/QUOTE]
