dad getting on board

[Guest guest]

i just wanted to say that i am divorced from my childrens dad my son AS 11 and

his sister 13 live with me, visit dad when they can, but i thought for long time

and he probably was that their dad was in denial of my son's dx and would allow

him to do whatever when he was with him but we discussed things on the phone,

and he has my son help do chores with him at his house, and is backing my

discipline for unwanted behaviors. He isnt always reliable but he has shown me

marked improvement, which makes me feel better about my son going to visits with

dad. The visits give me a break and a chance to recup so to speak, but didnt

want to send him if it was making the issues worse. Also i wanted to apologize

to all and any if i have ever offended anyone i have realized that sometimes

when other people post a problem or concern with their child that i post and

instead of advice i dump my problems out, i dont mean to step out of bounds or

make anyone feel that their

childs concerns are not important, i guess when i see someone else going thru

something similar or exactly the same i have questions too, so i jump in. my

mind tends to be going all the time and i have great difficulty with keeping

thoughts/ideas in order. i dont know how to explain it but did seek professional

help as it concerned me that i had dx not yet known but the dr told me, no not

bipolar, no not adhd, no not ocd just normal mom trying to raise children one

with dx and others with no dx but with other behavior difficulties as i have 3

stepchildren boys 9,10,11 and it can be challenging. But i do ask you all to

accept my apologies, i try to keep quiet but i am a bit of a gabber, as you all

can tell from my constant babbling long emails. so even a computer cant keep me

quiet. god bless you all and have a great 4th of july, it's been raining here

all week so dont know if we will have a decent weekend.sherry
