accepting the boy in Eddy

I forgot to blog the last few days. Hopefully I will soon have these accessable to others to read. I have had a lot go on the last week. Eddy seesm to be doing okay in school, it is the honey moon perioud and I am sure by April, a can of worms will have been open. I am greatful there are over 700 other studnets with issues, maybe Eddy will get lost in the mix this year... just let us all hope. He has matured greatly and if you read my last posts centered on him you would notice the change over the last few years.
Eddy has said he has learned from his mistakes and wnats to keep a low profile at this school. He wnats to only speak withn spoken to and he wants to have kids come up to hi not him go to them.
This seems ot be working.
Are there still a lot of tense moments at home between he and I? Oh hell yes! Will that ever change? I don't know. I honestly can not tell you. I can tell you that every day is a sturggle for power between the two of us. You may think this a very assinine comment. I am the mother, there should never be struggle. Ha! Should of, would of, could of... Does not matter, there is....
I feel very exausted at times and I feel very annoyed at times as well, but in the end, I also feel vendicated as a mother when he does do good things, the right thing and what psychologist woudl dub as 'normal' rational behavior.
He is my child. I ma proud of him. Bottom line.

way to long

ADD intro

Hi.

I have been to a few 12 step meetings in my day, never as the addict, always as the guest of the addict. I was intrigued at the self DEFEAT ACCEPTED that eminated from these places. " Hello, my name is jon and I am an addict I am a screw up and my family screwed me up" This is a typical first time comment. These guys never want to take accountablility at first. Sure sure ,after a few meetings they may begin to accept their faults but then they stop going. My sister pointed this out once after she had attended a few, she is a narcotics addict. SHe is doing great now as she has found solace in her group. What does this have to do with ADHD and raisign a child? EVERYTHING. I often feel that parents of kids with ADHD need a 12 step program, but then I realize that we would get so side tracked we would have to have 12 steps to get back to the 12 original steps then another 12 step to keep track of the progreess of our defeat.
