My son is like a broken doll, he is flawed, and has faults. But like a favourite toy, I still want him, and will take care of him.
Others may see him as something to throw away, not worth bothering with, shoved to one side or stuffed in a cupboard. I don't give up on him and neither do I push him aside.
He is my son.
Just a few words about my boy with ADHD. This is how he appears to me.
I know this isn't really a discussion subject but I wanted to put my thoughts down here for others to read, and to see if others feel the same way about their children.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I think thinking your child is "broken" is wrong; it sets the stage for failure.
We are all flawed--we all have weaknesses and strengths. It makes us "individuals"--we all need to learn how to deal with our shortcomings (and our strenghs) as we grow.
My child has adhd--and there is nothing wrong with her. She just has adhd, and I have to meet the challenge of helping her grow. That is my job. Her job is to grow up--she is just a kid.
Perhaps I am so dreadfully flawed myself that I think this way.
Teach him to NEVER give up and that Integrity is the most important quality.
Good luck!

In my eyes everyone is "broken". If we weren't we wouldn't be mortal. I think other's "broken" qualities are maybe just a tad bit more hidden than a childs.
I too love my child and have dealt with people who feel that she is worth nothing and needs to be overlooked.
Charge on!!! Stay the fight
