[QUOTE="klmno, post: 168711, member: 3699"] Shari, just in case- you're doing the right thing. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had called NAMI and other agencies at the first sign of a mood disorder in difficult child. Just to get the spill and learn the ins and outs. Steely, you bet I understand- I'm left feeling like I'm learning everything in hindsight for the past 3 years now. It might not feel so bad if I was raising a younger child, too, that I thought this would help- but, shoot, this is my one-time shot. I'm just left feeling like "this is what I should have known and this is what I should have done and this is what I did wrong". Experience is wasted on those who can't use it now. That is how I feel right now. It is just frustration- I try to remind myself how much worse it could and would be if I hadn't found this board. Really, the support and suggestions and shared knowledge cannot be matched anywhere. So, while I whine because I didn't find it sooner, I also have to be grateful that I found it at all- and before anything got any worse. [/QUOTE]
