[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 368128, member: 8617"] Welcome. You have found a safe place to land. Many of the parents here have been where you are and walked the hard path as well. This place is a wealth of support and ideas. You are in good hands. It can be a slow process to get the right help and make progress but you are headed in the right direction. I was at my wits end when I got here, I was ready to lose my mind. I was weary, fatigued, emotionally burnt and felt so utterly lost. This site has made such a difference in my life. Just having people who understand is so important. People with average children just don't "get" what we go through which makes it so much harder. I landed here less than a year ago and can already look bag and see myself closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. Try to let go of the guilt. You obviously love your kids and are doing the best you can. We all go through stages of feeling so beat down that it is hard to manage our children perfectly. We are parents but none of us are perfect, we ALL make mistakes. We all learn as we go along. No child, especially a difficult one comes with rules or instructions. Parenting is often like a game of blind mans bluff. I worry about my childs future too, I obsess over it sometimes and it causes me a great deal of stress. Your childrens diagnosis or future diagnosis is not your fault. Our kids just get unlucky. A lot of us mourn what we see as milestones they may not reach. None of this is what we pictured. There are still good things along the way and we learn hopefully to accept our kids and love them for who they are, warts and all. You are a good mom! I agree with a lot of what the other posters are saying. I would wonder if little sis maybe learned some bad behaviors from big brother and now possibly she is acting out due to it.
