[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 232760, member: 1161"] I've come to realize we lucked out in the wonderful therapist and psychiatrist we had. I did, however, hear this kind of thing from just about everyone else, school principals especially. When we finally got our diagnosis from the psychiatrist, she said to me that we'd done a good job with difficult child, we'd been good parents, and he was a wonderful boy with good morals (and a couple other good comments on his character that I forget now, I was so shocked and happy at the first half of what she said LOL). I hadn't even mentioned anything like this, such as questioning what we'd done wrong, so she was saying this from her own thoughts, tho' maybe it's a question she gets from a lot of parents LOL. I very much felt like going to the principal he had at the time, the worst one for comments about it being a family problem, and waving the diagnosis in her face and saying SEE it's not just because we're rotten parents nah-nah-nah-nah-boo-boo. I didn't, and I knew there'd be no sorry from her anyway, but it felt good to do it in my head anyway. I really think that one bit of validation from a professional was enough to make me feel better about my parenting skills than anything else. [/QUOTE]
