[QUOTE="elleanne, post: 654007, member: 18957"] Hi there, I just want to say that I understand and could have written this post. Our three and a half year old son is literally tearing us apart right now. We also have a seven year old daughter and his behavior has had a very negative impact on our family. I am an emotional wreck and extremely sensitive about him, his behavior, questions about his behavior and feelings of my own personal inadequacy as a mother. I swear since the day he was born, our pediatrician has asked leading questions in regards to our boy as though she knew something was different. I've always been resistant, perhaps because I was in denial or scared to label or perhaps because I always saw a slightly different side of him, but now I'm at my wit's end. We, too, are getting testing--have to wait until July because of the waiting list, but will hopefully have some more answers at some point. So, I get it. Here's what I always wish someone would say to me--you're doing a good job. You care so much and you did a search which landed you here and you want to help your child. It sounds like this is a judgement-free, supportive group of really knowledgable people, so that's great too. I swear, if there were a support group for parents of spirited kids (or whatever we have going on here), I would be president. I just want to meet ONE mother who gets it, who understands and who can cry right along with me. I feel so incredibly lonely. [/QUOTE]
