[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 484062"] Wow. I have been in your place (although not online) with my mother saying pretty much the same things about difficult child 1. I didn't speak to her for 3 months. It hurt like h*** knowing that my own mother (difficult child 1's only grandparent) felt these things about my son AND blamed me for them none the less. We are talking, barely, and everything is very guarded now. Things will never be the same but I have my FAMILY here and I KNOW that I am doing the best I can and that, now that we have an accurate diagnosis, I am making sure difficult child 1 is getting all the help he NEEDS. As I think back, my mom never treated ME like I was ever good enough either. That's just the way she is so I just don't have much to do with her. My "real" family is here. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} Now, who diagnosed your son? Did you know that ADHD with Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can in some cases actually all fall under the Autism Spectrum? Has your son ever been evaluated my a neuropsychologist/neuropsychiatrist? There might be more or something else going on and they are usually pretty good at figuring it all out. Welcome to the "family". You'll find a lot of support, experience, knowledge, and caring here. Take what works and leave what doesn't but at least keep an open mind. [/QUOTE]
