Could it be me?

Ok! I am very nervous. Tomorrow DH,SD and I go to see child mental health for an assesment on SD. I am freaked...what if the problem is me? What if everything that is wrong with her is my fault? Could it be? I am trying my hardest to be patient and understanding but some days it's difficult. Ok most days. I know this sounds bad but....I think she has ADD and I sort of hope it is. At least then there would be a reason and I wouldn't have to feel so guilty all the time.

I was in your spot a year ago. So worried that the therapist was going to tell me that everything was my fault. Don't worry, it isnt your fault. I promise. Now you might discover that you can do certain things differently that will make difference, but that is a good thing. Everything will turn out okay, and it doesnt sound bad to hope for a reason why SD is tearing your life apart. Again, I hoped for the same thing. You have NO reason to feel guilty whatsoever. Relax and be excited that tomorrow someone will be telling you and DH that with therapy and time, SD will be able to change.

Hugs to you!

You were right goingcrazy, it wasn't bad at all. Most of SD problems are with her BM and they are testing her for ADD as I expected. That gives me some relief. All will be well..in time. Thank again
