Dear Mom of the ADHD Child, You WILL Be Okay
Dear mom of the ADHD child, You will be okay! You will have days when you want to pull your hair out. You will have days when you see hope. You will be judged if you choose to medicate. You will be judged if you don't. You will be accused of being a bad parent. You will be accused of not discipling enough. Or too much. People will take pity on you. They will look…

The 'why isn't he answering his cell phone' kind. He must surly have been in an accident. The 'why does he have to go to North Carolina again. The plane could crash' kind. The 'he's napping in the chair so…
I Can’t Take Credit for That
When I get compliments on my kids about how great they are, how it's so great and wonderful they're serving I want to say thank you, yes they're my kids. I can't take credit for that.
