Dear Jewell,
DITTO, you are not the problem. I have heard some of the same comments from my "well meaning" family. Usually, they are accompanied with "if you would only....fill in the blank" difficult child would "fill in the blank".
Even if you have an attitude problem once in awhile, well gosh I guess that means you're not perfect. My difficult child ALWAYS acts different when she is with people she doesn't know well. Sometimes I even get glowing reports. She knows she "should" hold it together sometimes and then when she gets home it all falls apart and guess who is usually the target. My counselor even told me I was her trigger. I didn't do anything to earn that honor except be her mother. Congratulations, we're in good company there are a few of us out there. :wink: LOL
