[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 298065, member: 831"] My sister, due to a variety of reasons, cannot have children. She lives far enough away that I only see her and her SO only a few times a year. Son was awful when she was here on Mother's day due to the psychiatrist attempting to ween him off Risperdal. That didn't work out so well. Anyway, she had a front row seat to his GFGness. She has also seen Daughter's outbursts. I know that her and her SO are probably so [I][B]SO[/B][/I] happy they didn't have kids. They have seen the monumental struggles both me and our brother have had with our children. My brother has a daughter who is autistic and will never live on her own. Both my sister and SO were difficult children and were heavily into drugs and alcohol in their teens and twenties.Our father was a major difficult child who caused all his kids trauma and grief. They like kids and are very good to their nieces and nephews, but, they know their genes make it highly probable they would have difficult children and would have had similiar experiences. I have a confession: Once a upon a time I was anti psychotherapeutic medication for children. Honestly, I just didn't have information and what I did was bias against medication without even considering any benefits. This was when Daughter was young and ironically had been given more medication than most adults take in a lifetime to survive Leukemia. My family (which is fairly small at this point for many reasons), if they have any, keeps their opinions to themselves. I've made it clear that medication was the last resort and if I though I could a better quality of life for them without it, I would. If they can offer me a detailed solution, which they would be willing to help implement, I will consider it. If not, keep yer trap shut:winking:. [/QUOTE]
