Moment of Peace
Sue, I know what you mean. I wish there was some foundation set up for families with these issues. I wish I had the means to start something. I have really been reading up on things. After I watched Michael J. Fox's special and started reading his book I have prayed that one day God will help me improve my son and my life and then help me help others. I have tried to find organizations for families like ours and mental health and illnesses such as fibromyalgia. It's a shame that these things are so over looked. I think the way people are talking about Autism is a blessing, I wish our ADD/ADHD children and their families had services geared for them at a reasonable cost and possible scholarship type things. It's a dream just like my dream kennel, but how great it would be for them to come true...we have to keep the fight alive. I am with you. *HUGS&LOVE* Marie

I’m With You
Hi Sue! Sorry it's taken me so long, I just don''t spend much time on here anymore. The computer is usually being used by another! I am doing ok, just making some changes in my life, I hope for the better. Guess I will find out once they are in place. I know how hard of a decision you had to make, I have been there. You are doing a wonderful thing for him. It would just be nice to know they realize it too, which is going to take lots of time, if ever. My problems with Aharon just seem to get worse, but I am still trying to save him. Guess one day it will all pay off, I pray so anyways. If you ever need to talk let me know and I can try to meet you on here. Have a beautiful weekend. *HUGS&LOVE* Marie

Congrats
You are doing the right thing for your son. It may not work but at least you can say you did your part. That is where I am at. I am leaving my husband, I am going to work on getting things lined up no matter how long it takes and then I am done. Sometimes no matter what we do it's not enough or it doesn't work. It has been so hard on me being in the middle of my son and husband. I just can't deal with both anymore. I am going to concentrate on my self and my son. When the time is right I will file for divorce or separation. I am actually looking forward to it. It will be a huge burden off my shoulders. Do what you can and realize you can't do it for them. They have to want to change and fix themself. Best of luck and let me know how it goes. *HUGS&LOVE* Marie

Little Love
I swear the hardest job in this world is mother and wife. I know in my relationship I do a lot more, some times I even resent it. I just hope some day there is a pay off for all our struggles. A co worker told me she thinks there is a special place in heaven for me, I sure hope so. We just have to hang in. It's hard because in my heart I feel like I have lost my son, even day he slips a little farther away. I keep hoping when he's older things will change. Unfortunately they have so far but not for the better. Hang in there. I am not on that ofter, but I will keep in touch. Have a great Easter. *HUGS&LOVE* Marie
