[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 708710, member: 1631"] Others are giving good advice, I want to add in my welcome. When I came here in the middle of the night in 2004 I thought my son was heading for jail when he would be an adult and he was only 5 at the time. He was violent, angry, ADHD and wearing my husband and me out. He was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Executive Functioning Disorder, Severe Dyslexia, and a cognitive disorder. There seemed to be no hope at times. This place helped a lot. We also had to advocate to get a lot of services for him, in school and out. We kept up with twice a week therapy for years, not really sure it was doing any good. We didn't think so at the time. However, he is now 19 and still a difficult child but not like in the past. He is not violent, he works two jobs, and volunteers at other jobs. He is doing very well and is a much different kid than he was at 5, thankfully everything is so much better. Please know that there is help out there. Also it is super important that you take care of you. My husband and I did a lot of tag teaming when our child was young-not sure we would have survived otherwise. We also both exercised a lot-it helped immensely! [/QUOTE]
