[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s obviously a lot more going on here than the request to have both parents present. I was a kid whose needs were not adequately addressed in school because of my parents’ martial and mental health issues. Both refused in their own ways to help me: one through anger and denial, [b]one through avoidance and hand wringing about the other’s potential reactions.[/b] And this was in addition to their general level of emotionally neglectful parenting, which would have affected a NT kid.

They are still married, still unhappy, still in denial about the full extent of their mental health and marital issues. Except now they are old and frail and isolated and have an extremely surface level relationship with their kids. I lost years of potential over their selfishness.

I used to hate them for it and now I am just sad for all of us. It didn’t need to be this way. [b]Find the way through that gets your kid the help they need.[/b] [/quote]

Can you, as an adult, see what was driving the “hand wringing”?

It’s not like the one functional parent had a clear good option when married to a dude and looking at divorced coparenting. That’s not good for a highly sensitive SN kids either- two houses, vastly different parenting styles, parents still arguing, one parent doing everything but from afar half the time.

But yes, get the kids adhd treated, unlike their adhd parent. And get them some talk therapy. Tutors, what they need. It’s all the functional parent to do that.

Dysfunctional parent can skip the meeting, the neuropsychologist doctor is not going to save the marriage. In fact she may create an excuse for an immediate drawn out, expensive  divorce. Untreated asd bipolar adults not treating their symptoms will just punch out. Go work and be a bachelor again. It’s easier that dealing with this. [/quote]
