[QUOTE="shellyd67, post: 430732, member: 6371"] I have felt extreme guilt from time to time. Not because I feel I created a difficult child by my parenting, but how I handled situations with difficult child's extreme behaviors thru the years. When you hold your baby in your arms for the 1st time, it never crosses your mind that they will someday grow up to have such issues and problems. NEVER did I dream about the future with my difficult child and see what our lives have become. So maybe that is why I didn't always handle things properly, I had no knowledge of my sons disorders. Sure, I know how to change a diaper, bathe a baby, wash their clothes, make bottles, nurse , etc ... Most of all I felt such extreme love and joy for difficult child, it was us against the world. But did I know how to handle a kid jumping the walls, talking excessively, being angry and obsessive, asking me hundreds of questions a day, being the most stubborn human being on earth, and so on and so on ...??? No, I did not so I handled him the best that I could. I am still learning and trying any technique I can ... I think I always will. Don't beat yourself up. You are doing the BEST you can ... [/QUOTE]
