[QUOTE="EB67, post: 44980, member: 3750"] Marg- I'm glad the weather has cooperated with you. That's more than I can say for myself though I am *finally* back at home after 3+ days of black out. Enjoy the rain! I want to thank you again for your thoughtful replies. You really made me think about the ways in which I talk to Seb about his "disorders". I've been way too matter of fact with him which has probably only increased his anxiety-- I fear that I may have made him feel defective. It's funny-- I think I'm doing a good job at being a mother and then BAM, I realize that I would have benefittted from operating instructions. Sometimes my intuition has me do the wrong things. I thank you for helping me see that there are more productive ways to talk to your kids about the diagnoses. And yes, it does sound like we have quite a bit in common. Not only does my Seb seem like your difficult child 3-- we also share the PTSD issue (I am a 9/11 WTC survivor). I often wonder if I would react to Seb's explosiveness differently if I had not experienced a traumatic event. Ooof, and there I ended on a heavy note. We don't have to go there. Ella Ella [/QUOTE]
