[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 37324, member: 3450"] Hi, RM, I too am very open about both my difficult children. I also get very sympathetic responses and often someone will open up to me about their own difficult children. I don't think I have anything to be ashamed about and also want to show people that "good parents" can have "bad kids." It is so much assumed that a troubled kid has to have a bad home life, must be the parents' fault, especially the mom's. One of my co-workers warned me about saying too much to certain people where we work--that they like to gossip--will appear sympathetic but will talk about me behind my back. But I really don't care. I don't care what they are saying about me. I also have to admit that sometimes I get a kind of pleasure out of being very honest--like when someone is talking about their perfect kid and all the great things they are doing and I bring up how my kid that age has been in rehab, dropped out of school, etc. but that she now has GED and works and how proud I am of her for her accomplishments.
