[quote=Anonymous]I guess its helpful to hear others in the same boat. My son was just diagnosed with dyspraxia and ADHD and being sent for genetic testing for some other symptoms and facial features and my younger toddler may have verbal apraxia--or at least pretty non verbal at 20 months. I suddenly feel like I have to reorient my whole life--ambition at work gives way to spending time with kids, appts, etc, and $ that we were going to spend on buying a house now all to therapy. Hanging out with my friends who have "normal" kids just reinforce my sense that I am a loser parent. And I have a lot of anger at myself (I didn't take great care of myself in my second pregnancy, forgot prenatals, had a 1/3 glass of wine here and there, didn't gain enough weight, got sick a lot, had to take antibiotics) but also at my husband, who has adhd and whose family has a history of unspecific mental illness (depression, bipolar) and neurological issues that I wish I had thought about before having kids with him. And I blame myself for waiting so long to have kids (didn't get married until late 30s). Mostly, I just worry about whether my kids will be happy, self sufficient adults and I'm terrified that I'm going to die or something before they get there. [/quote]
