I am a parent of a very difficult child. Alot of my anxiety has been due to parenting. I found this program and wanted to share this link here for parents who are sharing these same troubles. I just ordered it. I am very hopeful and will let you all know how it goes.

I have difficult children too in terms of a son with ADHD and a daughter who is a late talker. They're both wonderful personality wise but their problems are definately stressors for me. I would say that I over focussed on them, their future, etc., thereby losing myself in the process. I would say my genetic predisposition to anxiety loaded the gun, the kids added more bullets, and an injury pulled the trigger on my current episode of acute anxiety, etc. Hang in there. At least I could say that all this stuff I'm going through has helped put my kids in perspective for me, since I'm almost constantly focusing on myself now.
