Firstly stop feeling guilty,whats done is done.....You need to concentrate on helping your son.I just published an article on add/adhd,entitled ADD/ADHD IS IT REAL OR BAD PARENTING.There are some great web sites I have added so they may help you with that part of your question.In regard to the abuse your son suffered,the relevant measures are being taken as stated above,I think you yourself need some help as well.You will be more help to your son when you are healed too.Just keep loving him and learning how to cope with his problems this will be the best help you can give him.
The right steps are already being put into place so now look after you......We cannot keep our children in a glass bubble,if you take all the necessary precautions with your daughter she should be fine all we can do is our best.It sounds like you have had a tough life and have done the best you could with what you had at the time. The time for self blame and guilt is over,put that energy into healing yourself and helping your children.You sound a very loving and caring Mum that has just been dealt a few hard knocks in life.I think if you take all the help you can get off the relevant departments above and just support and love your children,your situation will start it's healing process.Hope I have eased your burden a tad regards Merle
