[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 281097, member: 6705"] BM has consistently told both difficult children that they are stupid. Since husband got residential and subsequently full custody, we've been working on that - and both sets of grades have been slowly but surely improving. We tell them that with work they [I]can[/I] do it. But even an unspoken thought can make a kid think it's their fault. So you're not a bad parent... You're normal. Which one of us hasn't messed up?!
