[QUOTE="Lookingforthelight, post: 683213"] Hi Ksm, I know I did drink when I was pregnant with her but that was before I knew I was pregnant. As soon as I figured out I was pregnant all drinking stopped. I missed one period I believe. I purchased all the books and was honest with my dr that I did drink before I knew. I wasn't an every day drinker, I was a weekend binge drinker (I was 20 years old at the time). My ob wasn't concerned that I had caused any damage but I suppose you're right, less was known back then. I did smoke and I lived with smokers (please no judgement--I beat myself up enough over that). But how you describe your daughter is very similar to my daughters struggles. Her bio dad had the same struggles when he was younger, with school etc. he moved from his house at 16 and lived on his own & supported himself. His parents are alcoholics and sadly he is one too still to this day. I am terrified I caused my daughter damage! If I could turn back time I would've done things so differently. Is there hope for her to be able to work past her struggles? I now feel like I've set her up to fail before she was even born. [/QUOTE]
