So my ex-wife infuriates me sometimes... she insists that our son has ADHD but never showed any of the symptoms when he is with me, only with her. Which makes me think that it's him acting up at her house to get the attention that she fails to give him that he gets here. I told her that's what I thought and she still had him put on meds for it about a year ago. Since school started back she has sent extra medicine over a couple times and has forgot to send it hte last 3 times i've had him. I had put up the extra's just in case she forgot to send them. She called today griping that i hadn't been giving him his medicine and said that the extra that i had were from that not her sending to many cuz she's miss perfect who couldn't ever make a mistake like that (yeah right) anyway after she basically called me a liar I told her that if she want's him to take it she needs to remember to send it with him and she tried to turn it on me like it was my fault for not asking for it. It pisses me off so bad that she never takes blame for anything she does wrong and can't accept responsibility for her actions she's 30 years old... grow up already!

Hi Jarius and welcome.
Sorry to hear about the tough time you've been having with your ex-wife lately I know it might be impossible, but I was wondering if you ex-wife could give your DS his medication early in the day like in the morning after he wakes up. From your post about your ex-wife's behavior my concern would be about your DS accidentally being overdosed if she's not trying to get on the same page w/ you or the school about his medicine. For example, if she claims that you or the school forgot to give him meds when you didn't forget, is she giving him extra medicine? Not to mention some of the side effects that your DS could experience from continually missing a dose because she forgot to send his meds. I hope it doesn't sound harsh, but I really hope for your son's sake that your ex-wife gets it together soon and starts stepping up to the plate more especially about his medication since his life could possibly hang in the balance. I know its not easy to deal w/ an ex, but try to hang in there. Good Luck. :D

Hi there
Just remember this is why you are divorced. lol I am a 43 year old divorced mom of 1 who is on her second marriage now and have a son from each marriage. I have been remarried for 13 years and my ex still gets under my skin, I can't stand the sight of him. I have to talk myself off the ledge as we can't ever have a civil conversation as he is never wrong. Consider the source and bl glad you are not in that marriage anymore.

Sounds more like she has a disorder than he does. So she says he's acting up with her to get the attention he doesn't get with you? She's blaming the way he acts with her on you, not on her own parenting skills. I hope she didn't doc shop to get one willing to give your son medication.
You're a very convenient target for her. Any problem there is can be your fault. She doesn't have to be responsible.

Man, I totally understand what you are talking about. My moms the same way. Even though she can't do a thing right, she swears shes miss perfect and that everything is my fault, even blames me for the way her life is, even though her life is the way it is because of poor choices and mistakes shes made and is making. But people are like that. They are unhappy with their life, and have to find someone to blame, or take it out on. And some people shouldn't be parents. Some people feel like they are so out of control of their own lives that they feel the need to control the lives of others and everyone around them. Trust me, I know all about that. I had to live with my cousin who was a control freak because she never had control, and always had to live with other people because she got pregnant young, and then wasted the majority of her life with someone who ended up not making her happy, but by the time she left him, she now had two kids. And its like once she got control of her life, and her own place, and a better job, it went to her head, and then she felt like no matter what she was right, and she needed to be the one in control. But people like that are only going to end up alone, and by themselves, because all they are thinking about and care about are themselves. It sucks that your son has to deal and live like that, and has to pay the price for some mis judgement, but thats just an example of how unfair things are, and just how wrong things can be. But you just have to remember to make sure he knows the difference and insure that he can think for himself and make his own choices so he doesn't fall prey to someone else's bad decision. He'll be able to make his own.
