[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 123227, member: 393"] [COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=3][B]I have to tell you - the lack of friend issue is very common with our difficult children. And it's heartbreaking as a mother to watch how lonely our children get. Neither kt or wm have good friends. Every friend they have is their "best friend". Many times, it comes down to learning the social skills that the various illnesses & disorders interfere with. And that takes time & patience - I'm not sure I've met a young adolescent that has time & patience for learning anything new. Even if it meant finding, more importantly, keeping a true friend. I'm sorry that you've had such a difficult time. Please pick your battles wisely - take on those you know will end in positive results. Let other things slide until you are feeling better about yourself & your difficult children ability to master whatever it is you're going to take on. Most important - don't head to the psychiatric ward. It's spa time! You're not losing it - you're exhausted & out of ideas. Give yourself a break & be gentle with yourself.
