I was wondering if anyone else feels this way.
It seems like people assume if your child has ADHD you are not a good parent. I feel like I always have to prove to people(teachers, family, friends) that I am a good parent. YES I agree! I feel that way a lot. Like I need to justify everything I do with respect to my son and explain to everyone why he's behaving the way he does. I guess it's my selfish need to have them not think I'm a bad parent! But when I sit and think rationally I know that many of the people outside of the ADHD "community" have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what it's like to parent a child like this! Anyone that has an ADHD child knows it's not bad parenting and others can be educated. Everyone else just plain doesn't matter!
No, when I see people glaring, I assume that they are ignorant and it doesn't go much farther.|
