"Hi Christy,
To me, it sounds like he wants a friend, but due to his condition, it is very hard for him to make friends and doesn't feel secure. As much as he loves that you and your husband play with him, it seems like he needs that…"

Al Maroon replied to Christy Meador's discussion Motivation...or lack thereof"I, on the contrary, think that you don't have too much on your plate, at least nothing that you value. You gave up working, which is a sanity maintainer for most of the people. You described yourself as a go getter, you seemed to be fairly…"

I have to agree with Doug. I think you should probably consider the counseling. I wonder, is she leading you to believe that there may be a chance that you all can reconcile? I think before I would agree to do that (because of her past) I…"
Ben Falkenstein replied to Christy Meador's discussion ADHD and NonADHD..."I'm beginning to consider counseling. I'm really at my wits end.

Coping skills...
I need to learn some coping skills. This really has nothing to do with my ADHD but it has everything to do with my life. I have a dachshund (Bailey is his name) that I have had for 15 1/2 years and he has a heart condition. Over the last few years it has progressively gotten worse. I'm not sure why, but I always figured that he would be okay. This afternoon he started to have some labored breathing and I quickly called the… Continue

ADHD and lying...
I've read that there is a connection between ADHD and lying. I am finding this to be very true. My son is ADHD and almost everyday this week I have caught him in at least one lie. Today was a big one that lead me apologizing to his teacher profusely. I realize that pre-teens are going to test their parents, but this has gotten out of hand. I have grounded him, taken things away from him, and tonight I just spoke in a very gentle voice and told him how disappointed I was that this has…

I'm determined to get in the holiday spirit!!!
Well...if you've read my past post you know that I have a heavy heart this holiday season. But I decided just a little while ago that I am going to get into the holiday spirit. Even though my daughter is gone, my parents are angry with me and my husband is upset that everyone is against him, I'm going to get into the spirit.
I went shopping today and got a few things for my son for Christmas, that made me happy. I have to remember not to spend to much money as we are on a tight budget…

There's just so much sadness in my heart...
There are just so many things going on right now sometimes I don't know what to do next. The holidays are such a busy time. I realize that it's that way for everyone, I just feel a little overwhelmed right now.
It starts with my daughter. She's 17 and because of things between her and my husband (her step-father) she has moved in with her dad. That happened mid-September and she has only been home twice. Those times were because she HAD to be here. She didn't have a place to stay…
