[QUOTE="aninom, post: 325239, member: 8513"] Welcome Fork! Count me part of the sarcasm fan club. Black humor does help. I am very new here as well, and just knowing you are not alone, that everybody here knows exactly what you mean, being able to vent - it is like an oasis in a thorny desert. It's not your fault. It's just not. Maybe you won't believe it as readily when it comes from fellow moms, so let me say it as a productive member of society and sibling to a difficult child - it's not your fault. My parents were and are great people. I had pretty bad issues myself as a kid, but I turned out fine because they helped me through. My sister hasn't changed an iota since she was 7. Your difficult child came into this world with a specific set of genes, a specific neurological layout be it from genes or in-utero development, and an environment outside of your influence that may or may not help her deal with that neurological layout. Best you can do is figure out what is different about your difficult child, and how to best help her manage that difference. Neither which is easy to do when she refuses to work with you in that process. ...And that's why you find an awesome board like this! [/QUOTE]
