[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 602920, member: 1550"] Stop! Please! Whatever doctor you've been taking them too...don't take them there again. It can take time to find the right doctor, and the ones you've seen so far have been lemons. You probably saw a therapist rather than a psychiatrist, but there are bad psychiatrists too. You need to start fresh.It's not really that hard to find one who will listen to you and give you a referral. Pediatricians/family doctors have no idea about childhood disorders, but many DO listen to our concerns and let us have our children totally evaluated, which you never had. I'm not sure what this guy is looking to "see" since it's not his field, but you need a new doctor pronto. You need to get them evaluated. Daughter is already 13 and you don't want her to be a teenager with an untreated disorder. Usually that brings bad stuff with it, and it can happen very suddenly. Please do this for your kids. And do it soon. NOBODY IMPORTANT HAS TOLD YOU IT'S YOUR FAULT. A family doctor or pediatrician, friends, your mother, an aunt, a snooty neighbor, a teacher (they are NOT part of the medical field), a coach, an kissing cousin etc. are not experts and are clueless about our children. Stop worrying about what OTHER people tell you and take them for real testing and then you'll stop hearing that it's you. A neuropsychologist will not say it's your fault. Nor will an Occupational Therapist (OT) or a PT, two good professionals that you can visit along with the neuropsychologist. It's not you and it's not ABOUT you. It's about your kids and helping them and a certain parenting method isn't going to change anything if they are differently wired. We are all here because nothing worked! And all of us got blamed, even though it wasn't because of us. Moving to their dad's, unless he plans to evaluate and treat them, won't help. Actually, having no rules will probably make them even worse. Differently wired kids need structure. You sound like a caring, loving, good, competent mother. Don't be so hard on yourself. Most people do NOT understand children who are born different, but WE DO! [/QUOTE]
