[quote=Anonymous]I have no therapist recs but have worked on letting go of my guilt!

I yell at my 7 year old ADD son several times a week. I have made enormous efforts to restrain the impulse to slap him. I sometimes resort to speaking acidly or use sarcasm.

Oddly enough, we have a great relationship, and hug and kiss during 99% of the bedtime routines. We tell each other "I love you".
He knows that I love him and have sacrificed so much for him. He knows that I will always put his needs first, ALWAYS.

I communicate openly with him about his special-ness - of which he is very aware (he told me at 4 years old that he could not turn off his thoughts to listen to me or to fall asleep - like a TV perpetually on). 
I filled him in on the IEP discussions and classroom accomodations. 
When we moved recently, we discussed school choices and extra-curricular activities, which we selected to strengthen his weaknesses. 
His talents and skills are highlighted just as his weaknesses are pointed out. Everything is open and explained. I am sure it helps build a climate of trust.
