[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 75866, member: 3444"] Y'know what anonymous? Things may be overwhelming for you both right now, but I would bet that once you figure out what's up with your little guy, (and be prepared to hear that he will need medication support of some type), things will eventually get worked out. I can remember when my difficult child 1 was struggling in preschool with all his ADHD and anxiety issues and feeling like crawling under a rock whenever I saw his teacher... Every day there was something else to report about his "bad" behavior. Other (ignorant) parents were pulling their kids out of his class because they didn't want to be around his influence. That was very demoralizing for me. I felt frustrated that I couldn't change his behavior, felt angry and sad at the same time when I realized that I didn't have a "normal" kid. It's hard to not feel like it's somehow our fault as the parent. But your doctor will tell you, and anyone here will tell you that it's NOT your fault, you ARE a good parent, and you are doing everything you can to help your son. Somewhere down the road you will look back and be so glad that you took the steps you're making today for him and things will be SO much better for him because of early intervention. I'm glad you are taking care of you -- that's very important. You have a lot on your plate with such young kids and the issues with your oldest, and it's not surprising you feel like you do. I had to do the same thing for myself and probably saved my own life in the process. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
