I know God doesnt give us more than we can handle but seriously Im about to my breaking point! Its been a hard enough few years dealing with my sons behavior and then to have the ADHD diagnoses and dealing with people and thier opinions and trying to figure everything out, makes my head spin. Now my mom is in florida on vacation and fell down a whole flight of concrete stairs and is hurt pretty bad, shes really bruised and sore and wont go to the ER because she doesnt have insurance so now im really worried about her and theres nothing I can do, I cant even go see her , I called to tell my brother and he doesnt seem to care because hes upset that she doesnt call him very often, well thats because hes always really busy and never answers so they both have hurt feelings towards eachother and the situation and instead of communicating they just let it go and stay upset with eachother which i think is silly. I so need a vacation away from everyone and everything.

I just read this. I\'m a mother on the ADD boards of a 12 year old with ADD. I don\'t have it, but my son does. I can only imagine how hard it must be to be a parent with it and have a child with it. I\'m sorry you\'re going through all of that. Please don\'t let others judgment of you and your son effect you too much. I know that can be hard as we are always judged for our son. I try to put on an imaginary lead vest to cover my heart from those that would judge us. Sometimes that works and other times it doesn\'t, but when it helps it carries us a long ways.

I\'m sorry your mother and brother are at odds. That happens quite a bit in with lots of families. It doesn\'t make it easier, but its good to know that others understand. They will work out those problems between each other when they both decide.

Hang in there. I hope your mother is doing better since her fall. Take care of yourself and remember for every person out there that doesn\'t understand, there are plenty more that do. ((hugs))
