[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 59954, member: 1233"] I know there are times I feel like a horrible parent. But I am not one. You are not either. We just have more difficult kids than many people even suspect it is possible to have. I took care of some of the battles with my kids by just not fighting about things. Meals had rules, you abided by them or did not eat. Either was OK with me. ADHD is not "bad parenting". And often it is just the first diagnosis many of us get. You are trying, seeking help, asking questions. That is ALL a parent can really do. The thing many of us forget is to be gentle to ourselves. And that other people's opinions of us are not any of our business. Hugs, Susie ps. If you were a bad parent you would not be worried about whether you were a good parent or not. [/QUOTE]
