Open Family Issues
My mom and I used to be best friends, It will be 2 years ago in June that we stopped talking. Her husband and I had a fight one night and he grabbed me and shoved me and there was some hitting. I was bruised and had a bloody lip. I called 911 and had him arrested for domestic voilence. The thing that really bothers me is that she has not tried to see my two sons after all was said and done. It's been almost 2 years since my boys have seen their grandma. SAD!

Open ADHD / ADD
My 8 yr old son was diagnosed w/ADD, but the dr. is...well, I have to say "Elderly". he never talked with my son. My son was in the room, but the doc only chatted w/my (soon to be) X-husband and I. Asking questions about him. His conclustion was "ADD" and wrote him a prescription for Adderall 5mg to start then uped to 10mg. We are visiting our Family doc tomorrow, of 20 years to get his opinion, hope he can help.
