[QUOTE="Fran, post: 28583, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>Hi and welcome. I used to think if I had a crystal ball and could see if difficult child was ok at 25, that I wouldn't worry and struggle so much. Unfortunately there is no crystal ball. I don't know if it gets better but it definitely gets different. The issues you deal with now will be manifested in other ways as difficult child masters the areas which are weak at present. I can't really say if it is easier but I know I wanted to be able to look back and feel assured that I turned over every stone to find a way to help my son. We can't control the outcome of our children but we can control what we do as parents. Hopefully they will both be enough. Take a breath. Don't get boggled by the language. Look at your child and see where he is struggling. Research ways to help those issues. Labels change over the course of a lifetime and the criteria for professionals to label will change. Focus on learning about your child and what you can do for him. You aren't alone. We all had 6yr olds that scared the pants off of us. We survived with some scars and some improvements. I have very little guilt but my son struggles even today. </span> [/QUOTE]
