    About Me

    I am a single mom and have 2 teens my 16yr old was diagnosed as bipolar and ADHD.I suffer from severe depression myself. My son was always considered a difficult child and a year ago started on meds for depression. After 2 suicide attempts the medical professionals finally decided to take him seriously and hospitalized him for 8 days. I am a RN myself and find it terribly draining caring for him by myself and hold a fulltime job also. I would like to hear from others on how they cope. thanks

    Interests

    Just started scrap booking. Love my dog! and my 16 and 19 year old sons of course. I love to read and garden.
