Stressed out and need help copeing

[Guest guest]

Hi my name is Bev

I'm a mother of three girls 20yo, 15yo and a 14yo with CF.My daughter was

diagnosed when she was only 8 weeks old and she was so sick that we almost lost

her. It was very hard on the whole family and her illness has tore us apart many

times. was also diagnosed with ADDH when she was 4 yrs.old and our

lives have never been the same.We tried to get help for years but no one would

believe just how bad it really was. Finally when she was 11yrs.old and after

toally distroying our house someone started to listen but I think it was too

late.We had her put in a home where there were our kids her age with problems.It

was hard to send her away but we were scared to go to sleep at night knowing

what she was capable of doing.

Last year she was home with us for a year and thing were getting bad again so

the doctors put her in the hospital in a program for children with behavior

problems.But nothing seems to be working.

She is a very smart person but she refuses to do school work, she doesn't want

to eat or take her medications.She just refuses to do anything that she is told

or asked to do.

Between her CF,her behaviors and the teen thing I've become a mother who doesn't

want to see her child anymore.I hate the way I feel but my husband and I are so

stressed out that I don't know what to do anymore.

Sorry about the long introduction but if anyone out there can help us to deal

with things please write.

Thanks for listening.
