[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a lot of pain right now. My DS has just graduated from high school. He has ADHD and other social skills issues and had a very tough time of school both socially and academically. He did not have any friends other than a few acquaintances.  It is so tough participating in graduation filled with hundreds of smiling kids hugging their friends, seeing all the grad parties, seeing pictures of the groups of friends doing their college reveals and hearing about beach week from my own neighbors/friends when my kid is not doing any of that. I feel like I failed him and that his childhood was just filled with pain and struggle. DS is going on to college but his struggles will likely follow him. I just feel so down and am having trouble having conversations with people when they are well meaning and saying "congratulations to [DS]" and "what an exciting time." Because it is actually a terrible time right now. It blows. [/quote]
You didn't fail him. I get that it's hard for you seeing all that. Look away from social media and look at your kid. How do they feel?[/quote]
