    About Me

    I am a single parent, raising two children (8 and 10)and working full time. My son is diagnosed ADHD/IED/Bipolar/ODD. The easier question is what have they not diagnosed him. My daughter has issues of her own, she feeds off her brothers behavior so we are in that cycle of trying to get everyone working together. The hardest thing I live with each day is how to be a good parent. I'm not sure I am doing a good enough job because I see problems in both of my children and I am the common denominator.

    Interests

    I love hiking, reading, and museums. My favorite place is the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells (such a beautiful place that holds so much potential.)

  • Support Groups

    • Close Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

      My son is diagnosed ADHD/ODD/IED. Life is a struggle most days. I have tried love and logic, taken classes for strengthening families, counseling, etc. I feel like everything is an uphill battle and I have no hope. Update: Son has now been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

      Treatments

      Risperdal Somewhat Helpful
      My son took this medicine, he couldn't seem to think clearly and when they lowered the dose it didn't work. He seemed zoned out on this one.
      Seroquel Too Soon to Tell
      We are now trying this in place of the risperdal. Too soon to tell if it will work

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      my x used to hit me in front of my children. He would say afterwards "I didn't do that" or "I don't know what you are talking about". I always doubted myself. I was not able to have friends, go see family without permission (which was rarely given), and was always made to feel something was wrong with me.
