[quote=Anonymous]I sympathize with a few of the parents here. Yes, it is absolutely a crapshoot. My spouse & I are both very average, mild mannered, mostly content people. Our child is what you’d call difficult to parent. ASD 1, teenager, everything is very high conflict, life is very dramatic, stressful, & limited. I share very little with coworkers or people outside our little sphere because it would sound insane to recount some of the things that happen in our house.

I am 100% sure that kids have the personality they are going to have at birth. Some are challenging, some less so. And then their parents, life situations, school, etc can affect that for better or worse. But yes, i do believe you can have loving parents, no trauma, strong community, good schools, support, money & resources, & still have a teen who says they want to kill you & tries to hit/kick you on the regular. I never expected this, and frankly had no idea people felt this kind of rage. I just never saw it in my parents or family. It’s so isolating & heartbreaking. [/quote]
