[QUOTE="bran155, post: 186373"] You are right, we have all, I'm sure second guessed ourselves from time to time. I even think parents of easy child children second guess themselves as well. I mean kids don't come with instructions and let's face it, our difficult child's are 10 times more difficult to raise. I second guess everything constantly. What if I would have done this, should I have done that, if I would have done that would this be different?? It's a constant battle within my brain. The best we can do is advocate for our children, present them with opportunities to work with what they have and hope they make good choices. Like Love the sunshine said, unfortunately they usually choose the hardest road. I struggled with the decision to put my difficult child in Special Education back in the 6th grade. It was a hard choice to make. Truthfully, it was the best thing I have ever done for her. She was finally put in a class with her peers, she didn't feel like the elephant in the room anymore. She fit. I think it is human nature for us to want to blame something or someone. As far as you coddling your child, your a mom, it is instinctual to want to protect your children and cushion life for them. Especially children with special needs. Every choice you have ever made with regards to your difficult child has come from love. It is very hard to make objective decisions for our children, we love them. Hey, if we all followed the "rules" of parenting these kids would still have difficulties. It is what it is. We do the best we can with what we got!! Don't beat yourself up, you are a warrior mom!!! :) [/QUOTE]
