Thank Dinah;
Your right, parenting is the toughest job there is, at least it is concerning my youngest son. I am hoping my son will continue with the therapy he's in now, although he keeps telling me he hates to talk about himself and hates all the questions he's being asked and he really hates all the tests they're doing on him to assess whether or not he is also depressed or struggling with anxiety issues. My husband and I are also in counseling because of the situation with our son. It's really putting a strain on our marriage as we don't agree on how to handle our son. My husband has ADHD and uses his own successes in life as an indicator that our son will be fine. My husband is now 46 and has never been medicated to control his, he's just adapted and used his own coping skills. I guess in the beginning I held onto the same hope that our son would turn out like his father. Obviously that isn't going to help without intervention. Once again, thnx for the kind words and support.
