[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you have a child with behavioral issues, you have no idea what it's like. The condescending attitude from other "helpful" parents is the worst. Yes, we have rules at home and are consistent with discipline, yes he is on medication and sees a psychiatrist, yes we are doing everything we possibly can to help. We love our child just as much as you love yours. To assume that we're not working on his problem and to shun us socially is just mean.

I'm a new poster.  I DO have that child- or did.  And yes, the judgement from others was intolerable.  I completely understand where you are coming from.  You love your child, but having to deal with the problems all the time is so hard.  For us, we also could not drop him off for any parties or playdates, had differing opinions about medicine, and had constant communication from the school, all of which put a huge strain on our marriage.  Then you try medicine and people judge that, too.  Really it is a no win situation.

All that being said, I always always always felt horrible for the other kids in his class.  I tried to be as open as possible and MOST people were very kind and understanding that least to my face- I knew they talked behind my back...) in return.

My son's diagnosis was also anxiety.  It is very hard for others to understand how horribly children react because most adults with anxiety do not react in the same way.

I wish you the best of luck.  Push the school for more support.  Also, you probably have already, but if not get a full neuropsych to look for other issues that might need to be dealt with such as ADHD.

Stay strong and try to find some other parents who have also dealt with it so that you have a sounding board.[/quote]
