[QUOTE="ML, post: 67825"] Honey you are sure preaching to the choir here. I haven't been in the game as long as you, and the supermom halo fell long ago here. Now I'm shooting for "good enough mom". My son had issues from birth. He cried a lot. I took him into the pediatrician several times only to be sent away with looks of "boy she's a nut". They could never find anything wrong. But by 6 months he was diagnosed with reflux and then came the ear infections and asthma by a year. The behavior was erratic all along. He could be sweet and charming sometimes and I'd wonder if it was all in my head. Maybe I wasn't prepared for this mother thing and I needed to work on *me*. Hmmm... in daycare they would see a different child. He would be lethargic and introverted, not an aggressive bone in his body. At home he was climbing on furniture and acting out. We have been through several evaluations within our budget and those that we could get by begging. Currently we have an adhd and anxiety diagnosis but I know there is more to it. Maybe spectrum, maybe bipolar, maybe all of it. But for now, he's just shy and inattentive at school. He saves the meltdowns for home. I suppose that's better than the alternative. I am president of the worst mother of the world club which membership must be accompanied by daily doses of "the I hate you's" thrown in for good measure. Know that you aren't alone.
