[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 203362, member: 3184"] KTmom91, I do not take it to mean that if we were better parents then our difficult children would not be difficult child's. I think psychiatrist meant that when husband (who is BiPolar (BP), has had a bad time with medications, some pretty severe reactions, and has chronic pain issues as well) then difficult child feels more secure and therefore does better. I was also sick for about 2-3 weeks, possible viral encepolopathy(sp) so I was not myself by any means either. We have seen that when husband is doing better, difficult child does better. Before husband was on medications, he would be up for several days at a time, and then sleep for 14-20hrs. His kinda normal schedule (he really had no schedule) was to sleep untill about 2 or 3pm, with noon being an early wake up time. Sometimes the kids would wake him up when they got home. Now he is up by 9 or 10am, just depends on how he slept and how his pain is. He is more stable emotionally. As a result he and I argue less, I am less stressed, so then I do better. I guess a family is interdependent, when one does better, all do better as the stress factor is reduced. I do not believe that we cause our children's problems. [/QUOTE]
