[quote=Anonymous]First of all, the responses were fairly constructive. Just because you are not getting the answer you wanted, does not mean they are not constructive.  Plus, I think you are reading more hostility in the posts than there is (see below)  I too would say to stay out of another couples marriage and parenting.

I think it is a good idea for a child with an issue like ADD or ADHD to see a therapist [i]prior[/i] to anything cropping up.  Having this condition puts them at a higher risk for problems down the road.  Being the sibling of a child with CP or other issues also puts the child in a higher risk group.  Having an established relationship to work things through when times get tough is great planning and may even avoid issues down the road. It is pro-active not re-active.

Regarding reading online posts:

If you read the following sentences emphasizing a different word each time, it vastly changes the meaning of the sentence.  It can be difficult to read the tone of online posts and many people tend to err on the inflammatory side.

[b]I[/b] did sleep not with your husband.
I did [b]sleep[/b] not with your husband.
I did sleep [b]not[/b] with your husband.
I did sleep not with [b]your[/b] husband.
I did sleep not with your[b] husband[/b].

You need to read it out loud to hear the differences.[/quote]
