[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589800, member: 1550"] DO NOT FEEL GUILTY! How many parents can actually be perfectly structured and scheduled in our homes? Probably none of us. Your difficult child is a difficult child and would be one even if you structured every minute of every day for him. He'd find reasons and ways to have meltdowns. It is not your parenting. It is how he is differently wired in his brain. If anyone, even family, is guilting you about this boy, ignore them or put them at a distance right now while you try to straighten out what is going on. The truth is, normally wired kids are resilient and can take a lot, including the rigors of a divorce, loud noise and commotion, unexpected changes, and when we have to say "No." And they don't all live in great homes. Differently wired kids are more sentitive to stimuli, change and criticism. You are here because you care and you are a good mother. You are NOT a professional who can stand back objectively and help you. Whatever else you do, absolve yourself of blame for this and don't let anyone else throw it at you either. Gentle hugs.
