For those who know me and those who don't let me tell you, dealing with a child with Moderate to Severe ADHD is not the easiest thing to deal with. I wouldn't change things for the world with my sons but sometimes I just wonder what on earth is going on with them.
My 9 yr old was diagnosed at the age of 4 with ADHD with combined type of O.D.D ( Oppositional Defiance Disorder). For the life of me I could never make him happy with what ever I did for him. I would tell him no on something and it would bring on a full fledged tantrum with him. Not knowing what to do my DH and I were always yelling at him. Making our neighbors for lack of a better term nosy as all get out. Moving on some years now to the age of 8. My DH has recently gotten out of the military and I thought that our children have adjusted well to life outside of the military. Boy was I ever wrong, since moving back to the east coast my son has had nothing but issues with honesty,trust and being able to tell right from wrong. It just seems that no matter what we do with him we always have 1 step forward and 4 steps back.
Sometimes I just want to run away and hide for awhile but I know deep down that sometimes that is just not meant to be. I am his mother and I can't just turn and run from this all.
It's hard, but you are STRONG!! You can do it! You have done it! And it will all turn out ok. <3
