I mean we all say how often adoptive parents are blamed for the problems their children have and we always make such of point of telling each other that we're doing our best etc etc.
But I wonder how many of us really feel inadequate and wonder if we really have done enough, if we haven't really contributed to the problems?
DS is facing some significant challenges in school and its hard work (for everyone) - I feel like I've spent more time at school than working recently. New strategy is in place but it's very very tough on him and it's so hard to see him so distressed and be a part of the group causing that distress.
I can't help thinking that if I'd been a better parent that he might not be facing this now even though I suspect that's not the case - I can't help feeling it.
I wonder how many of us who are facing tough issues feel this way without admitting it?
