[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 53707, member: 3783"] Yes - it is VERY hard to fully accept everything our kids do because the very nature of psychology is that it is so subjective and prone to interpretation.... Outsiders just think our kids need "more discipline" or "more validation and love", while we know very well that we have done a wonderful job of parenting - at least as good as most families - and yet, our kids turned out differently! And with any psychiatric disorder (I am learning), there is a very fine invisible line between what is and is not under a child's control. I just have to keep reminding myself that my daughter is doing the best she can with tools she has now - and hopefully she'll be learning and adapting the new skills in an effort to improve her situation (locked in a psychiatric hospital for 6+ months....). Now that she is out of the house for a while, I too have gained perspective on this and can better focus on my other wonderful kids because they deserve the unstressed/unfazed/easy going mom that I really am....
