[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thx PP... this is what we are experiencing. Interestingly, he does great with kids and their parents and improved tremendously with teachers over the years. But the thing that made me sad yesterday was that I didn't enjoy hanging out with him. I was squelching my annoyance (b/c I told him many times) and it was just exhausting. Then of course I wound of screaming in the end and I felt like shit. He is a hard kid. I never say this aloud, but it is very interesting b/c his brother is so easy in comparison. They have grown up in the same household.... it is what it is. Amazing how I could be so angry and annoyed and then love that kid to pieces....[/quote]

This is how I feel about my mother who has some kind of undiagnosed issue. Probably ADHD. She is utterly exhausting in the way you describe and I can't spend too long with her because I will break and lash out at her. She is in her 60's now and has never "found herself."  I get so tired of her constantly changing pet interests that consume her. She just can't understand why I don't share her enthusiasm or want to make some drastic life change at the drop of a hat.

I love her so much though. I often envy my dad because he could just divorce her and be done. It's not like that for parent-child relations as you know. [/quote]
