Hello all,
As so many others have said I also am very thankful to know that I am not alone. I thought there must be something wrong with me because I find my Skids so difficult to be around. I love children, have been around them all my life, and have three wonderful ones of my own but for some reason I find myself (I don't want to say it but yes..its true) hating them more and more as time goes on. BM is no help and makes all the problems that much worse, she is a compulsive liar and very vindictive. I wish I could tell the whole story here and now but there is way too much to say. What I can say now is that I am so thankful this site you all are here and I have really been needing someone to talk to about these problems. I would never hurt any of my kids including my skids but lately I have really felt like running away.
One of the major problems that I am encountering is that I believe both skids have some form of learning disability but BM either doesn't care, doesn't know or just won't tell us. SS is 6 and acts out really bad, has been diagnosed with ADHA and is on adderall and talks at about a 2-3 year old level. SD acts out, is selfish, ignores everything I say, forces herself to puke if I don't make what she wants for dinner, and talks at about a 1-2 year old level. I have a two year old niece that talks better then both skids put together and at one yr my DS could talk better then the SD.
Anyone with any advice, comments, wants to talk please please comment (I could really use some good friends right about now)
