Many of you may have read of my (our, although dh is less involved, I think) on-going problems with ds' behavior. Briefly, he has trouble controlling his temper, is constantly seeking attention but, when one-on-one, is absolute bliss. We've consulted our paed who referred us to psychologists, psychiatrists & even A&E, we've cut out chocolate, sugar & E-numbers from his diet, begged him to behave, threatened him, bribed him but always, always assured him that, no matter what, we will love him unconditionally.
As I write this (propped up with a drinky-poo or two), I feel at an all time low. Ds was sent to the headmistress again today - the only form of punishment his school has found effective - & I'm so, so sad & disheartened. Coincidentally, ds was sent to the head this morning & had an appointment with his paedopsy this afternoon - it took us 2 hours to get there because of the rotten, cursèd football. I burst into tears - not my style but I feel absolutely overwhelmed. Summer hols start in 10 days & I don't know how I'll cope. Ds & dd(8 on Monday) fight over every single thing. I'll say "Wash your hands, please" & they'll end up shoving & screaming at each other as to who goes first.
I realise no-one will have a solution but I need to vent. All you mums out there, please give me some support because I feel alone & frustrated, frightened & above all, guilty. After all, if something's wrong with ds, who's only 4 fgs, it must be my fault! 4 yr olds aren't evil or scheming - they're barely beyong babyhood! My heart aches for my son. Please help me to feel better!
