[quote=Anonymous]I so understand where you are coming from OP, and I think you have to internalize that there is no "end zone" in most of parenting - you (and I) may have to adjust our ideas of what is a "good outcome." Your child may not succeed traditionally, and that may be fine and even possibly motivating - they could be a chef or artist or who knows? Or it could be something that changes. As long as your child is happy and able to support themselves, and I understand the worry about not even getting there! - the rest is just gravy. I do think it is so hard in this area, where traditional success is so important. What helps me a little is really internalizing that ADHD is really a disability. As in, your child really is disabled. It is so common people write it off as "minor" but clearly, it is not. It impacts every part of life for the kids' who have it. The fact that your child is doing well in anything is honestly awesome. [/quote]
