What is planned NO MAN or SD can stop!!!

[TheOnlyMe]

My son is 18 and determined to be the first graduating class of his school (new high school) no matter how they haven't educated him and accommodated him out and socially passed him. His path is beginning to be exposed and no SD or agency can stop the plans of God for our difficult child's, he will use them for his GLORY!!!

He is being procured to be an advocate voice Nationally for Children's Mental Health and trained to mentor his peers and Advocate for Policy changes on the state level. This time last year we were in serious crisis two tickets from fighting at school, two attempted suicides in 60 days and had to be sent to an DTC for IEP not being implemented which acerbated a regression. BUT NOW!!!!!!!!! on the 29th medications been the same (figured out he cant take stimulants for his body chemistry for WMI of 1 % PR, it was causing the rage and Mania in BiPolar (BP)), no incidents and no episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Just awesome!

My son also took on the challenge of "wanting and willing to own the explanation of who and why his is". It truly does make the miracle stronger when your child makes the decision to work toward the goal of overcoming their challenges. To know they have it in them. To see the goal.

I know all difficult children want a easier life. Many don't see how. They have to figure that out for themselves. Parents give them all the tools and try to discipline toward that goal but until the lightbulb goes off and difficult child understands he/she can work at it, it is very difficult. We just need to help find those tools to make it work. What is the challenge and how to overcome it? Hard, hard work for the kids.

Congratulations!
