[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654837, member: 18958"] Ethansmom, I forget who it was that cautioned you to be careful of ADD medication for your son, that is a stimulant. There are alternatives that do not have addictive properties. Me too. My son is my only child. I never married and had difficult relationships with my family. He was my everything. That was not good. I see that now. The relationship was too loaded for him, and for me. Now that I am older and he is older I find myself wishing my son was maturing into the kind of man I had hoped he would be. I worry that when I am old, old there will be nobody to take care of me. The reality is neither you or I know the outcome for our children or ourselves. Nothing is promised to any parent. The only thing I can do is to make myself better so that I can face whatever present and future that is mine to face. It is the same for every other parent, I think. I believe it is the same for you, too. You have a family that needs you. Your son needs you. You need you. To me, the important thing is to stay focused on what you can do, and to take care of yourself and your family. [/QUOTE]
