My difficult child is an adult (in terms of age, but mentally he is not) and coming to live with us again, under the condition that he seeks treatment and has testing done (past therapists suggest ADHD, but I have a feeling there is more going on as well...)
I am not looking forward to this, I must admit, I am very, very tired, I also have my own issues to struggle with, other children to take care of, but difficult child has completely exhausted just about every member of our extended family who have been willing to help.
I am so glad that I found this site, because I feel so alone. For a while, I have felt that everyone else have perfect children, or if not perfect, then at least children who are functioning on some level and not just causing mayhem wherever they go. I guess it's because I just haven't talked to anyone who have had completely out-of-control young adult kids. But I really, really need support and advice...
I will read on in the forums
Thanks for being here.
