Close Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I am the single mom of 2 teenage boys, 14 and 17. My eldest son has lived with his dad for the last couple of years, but since he lives just up the street I still see him often even if I don't feel the closeness that I once did to him. My younger son stays with me, visiting his dad on the weekend. He just seems to be hitting the point where he's pushing my buttons now so I think I'm going to be looking for support.
Treatments
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- Try to remain patient with them, but it can be difficult sometimes. Yes, I know they're teens, but I have trouble with the disrespect.
- Walking Somewhat Helpful
- I have always enjoyed going for walks, and still find it helpful,especially when I am angry/frustrated with how things are going with the boys.
Open Parkinson's Disease
It's actually my father who has PD. Was diagnosed in March '07 and has progressively declined. I'm his only child so I am fighting my way through the system trying to advocate on his behalf.
Open Dementia
My dad has been diagnosed as having cognitive memory loss. He's had strokes, TIAs and also has Parkinson's. Doctor isn't sure if the problems are caused by early Alzheimers or from vascular damage.
