[QUOTE="Mirabelle, post: 762521, member: 28712"] Hello and thank you so much for sharing your story! It surely must give the parents of difficult children hope that their child is not necessarily destined for a fraught, peaceless existence. As a lower elementary teacher, this helps me on a professional level also. It is always a major stressor for me........worrying about how my 'difficult kids' are going to make it in the world, beating myself up because I don't know how to help them. My own stepson was the prince of tantrums until around age 5. He was always very sensitive but bloomed into a boisterous, happy little boy. Everything seemed fine on the surface and then he got into some pretty significant marijuana use in his mid to late teens and ended up with a mental illness diagnosis. I am so glad that your parents were proactive in finding you help. It sounds as though, thankfully, they hit on the right treatment for you pretty early on. Sometimes parents, like many on this forum, try everything known to man to try and help their kids and find that either nothing works, or that they can't find the right help. I am so so glad to hear a success story! God bless xxx [/QUOTE]
