[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 691280, member: 15832"] You're much too hard on yourself, Lil. We did all of the above. Public grammar, Parochial HS. Lots of activities. Sports. P doctor. Therapist. Tutor. Etc.Etc. Friends over. We let him have wrestling matches with his friends in the basement! We sent him to summer camp! All of this. How much of a difference did it make? I don't know. He would do better for a while, and then backslide again. He's 29 now, and doing much better, but isn't working full time yet. His issues superseded all we tried to do for him. Sometimes, maybe, it's just holding your boundaries, making demands, waiting for them to grow up. [/QUOTE]
