[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 707950, member: 20373"] I agree with SWOT. You have nothing to be ashamed of and you are not your son. Quite frankly I too have had people judge me because of my sons actions. In fact I had one friend who prior to knowing about my sons issues because I held them private for so long, and who has never had children, say flat out that difficult children are a product of their upbringing. She actually gave me a gift with that. That is the day I told her and the rest of the world around me about the issues with my difficult son and it was a very freeing experience. And that is the day when I began to choose my friends far more wisely. I began to houseclean my life and surround myself only with people who were supportive and positive and who CARED about me. Funny how the universe sends us gifts at times when we are in such despair, that it is difficult to recognize them. Something in my soul that day exploded and needed to be freed. The "dirty little secret" I had been trying to hide from everyone really just needed to be heard and validated. I became stronger after that. Much stronger! [/QUOTE]
