[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 428547, member: 805"] I keep coming back to this post Linda because I'm really trying to think what the standard of stability is. You know, if you had asked me in 2000 what I expected for my children it would have been going to a good school, working hard, playing hard, getting into a good college and doing what you enjoy. Enter the year 2003 when the ground caved in around difficult child - everything changed. Now my expectations for my children are that they are physically and emotionally healthy and happy. Period. Certainly I hope they become contributing members of society. But I think my standard for difficult child is that he he smiles at least once a day at school, has at least one friend, puts forth effort in class aminimum of 70% of the time, I don't hear from the school or his 1:1 but every two weeks, he is medication compliant, and he listens and produces what is expected at home at least 70% of the time. difficult child is complicated. Often he is looked at as noncompliant when it is actually his inability or fear to interact. Often his anxiety rules his choices. I think that deep down there is more going on that ADHD but not at the point where it severely effects his ability to get by. Sometimes I wonder if "getting by" is not good enough.....
