[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 374823, member: 1514"] Welcome to our corner of the world. I know for sure this isnt a place you ever wanted to find but we are a great group of parents that have been there done that and have plenty of tee shirts to prove it. I know my closet is stuffed so full of them after parenting for the last 29 years I should really donate to the Goodwill! LOL. I have been here on this site since Feb of 99 when my youngest was 12 years old. He just turned 24. I wouldnt do those teen years over again for a million bucks but he is so much better these days...well... that depends on which day it is I suppose :winking:. My middle son is the real success story. He was/is your classic ADHD kid with an emphasis on the H. He really didnt have any behavior problems outside typical kid behaviors. He was just extremely hyper and couldnt pay attention if you paid him. Ritalin was his best friend. Thankfully, he had a goal from the time he was a little boy of going into the Marines to be like his Papa so he worked extremely hard to be good and stay out of trouble. That wasnt an easy thing to do where we come from. He also had to go off his ritalin when he entered HS in order to join the military which made for an interesting HS career. He did it though. He spent 4 years in the Marines as a military policeman and is now married with two kids. He works with the deputy sheriffs department as an animal control officer. Perfect job for someone who cant sit still and loves to be outdoors. He is buying his own home and is pretty happy most of the time. I cant ask for more. [/QUOTE]
