[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 653936, member: 17635"] While I remember perusing Spock's book, I mostly remember judging my sister in law for rearing her child according to [U]The Magical Child[/U]. Darn, I was a judgmental &%$@#. While my nephew has problems, he is way ahead of my difficult child. Once, in a small airport, while a girlfriend and I were waiting to board, Spock got off a plane. An airport employee pointed him out and I think, years later, that is why I bought the book. Mostly, I wanted to raise my oldest child UN-like my parents raised me. Uh, that did not help. And, at my ripe old age, I am pretty certain it had not so much to do with how we raised him. husband and I truly believe there were bigger forces afoot. Certainly, if we had known more about mental illness, we might have sought out better ways. How many parents, in their mid-20's, know to do this? And, how could we have predicted what was to come. There were no clues. We were totally in love with our remarkable child, who seemed perfect in everyway. And, by the time difficult child was 15 and suddenly acting out, it would have been too late. I cannot blame Spock at all. [/QUOTE]
