[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My absolute biggest regret is my total and absolute failure as a mother to my oldest son. I have failed him by all of my standards. I push him too hard. I'm too demanding. I'm too critical. I have continually failed to meet him where his is academically emotionally, physically--his entire life. I regret that he has me for a mother. He deserves a better, kinder, more forgiving, more accepting mother. I am trying every day to be a better mom to him--but every year, as I look back I feel I have gotten worse and worse. He is only 12. I have tried therapy on and off for years. I will again. I am almost wild with grief that there are only 3 weeks left of summer and then we are back to our eternal battle ground issue: school.[/quote]

PP, I sometimes feel like this but it comes and goes. DS is 11. He has LDs and ADHD.  We find ourselves yelling at him and being way too critical but then we catch ourselves, apologize to him and "TRY" to never do it again.

DS is also funny and witty as hell.  energetic and always always ALWAYS smiling.

PP what does your DS struggle with? also he is only 12. You have time to improve your reactions towards him. [/quote]
