[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 286656, member: 6245"] Thank you, for all your responses!! It is so good knowing that I am not alone in this. I think I am going through a rough patch because I just started staying home with difficult child in March after working full-time simply because we ran out of options for him. School doesnt start until August and I find myself so EXCITED to have those 3-4 hours without him ( 1/2 day kindergarten)! I feel horrible because I should be excited to be home with my kids for the summer but we are a little trapped because I have to plan any activities VERY carefully according to what kind of day we are having. I love aerong's comment about parenting skills because I always felt before how some parents with horrible parenting skills have children much better behaved than my difficult child. That was before I knew of course that it wasnt just a terrible toddler phase:winking: I am really glad my post helped someone else too! I think the best thing about this site is knowing there are other parents going through the same issues. Oh, and difficult child is "Gift from God" I was fairly certain about our diagnosis due to his textbook manic & mixed episodes but of course as we go through each medication sometimes I doubt everything. I still think he could have Asperger's even though when tested she said a part of the test usually lacking in these children where fine w him. I also sometimes wonder if its Schizophrenia but he doesnt quite fit right now. We have a re-evaluation once he is 6 since his first one was done at 4 1/2 to see how he is once his brain develops the frontal lobe. It's all so complicated, isn't it... I know I need some time away but right now it is near impossible due to husband's crazy work schedule. I think all of you just validating my feelings has helped me feel so much better. Thank you all so much for the responses! I've read tons of books (when I can) but it still isn't the same as hearing good advice from real parents!:happy: [/QUOTE]
