I just wanted to apologise to all those who were offended by my post about difficult children being kicked out of home.
I didn't mean to offend; I do feel very strongly about particular forms of treatment and dealing with difficult children, but I also know it's never easy and no parent does any of this with a sense of joy or happiness. It's difficult and gut-wrenching, I'm very sorry if I implied otherwise in my posts.
It's a particularly difficult time as my Mum is visiting me in London (from Sydney, Aus) at the moment, and occasionally it feels as though no matter how well I do (going to law school, moving 12,000 miles away and living independently in London) it's not quite enough and my difficult child behaviours on top always tend to throw a spanner in the works.
I'm grateful for the support from the posters who did speak up, equally I'm sorry if I did offend. Sincerely, that wasn't my intention.
