@etgohome Thank you for this! I truly hope so. I just want the best for him and for him to do well in life and be happy and healthy.

@crs_7 I wish a push from dad would help maybe but unfortunately he’s not super involved. I have tried my hardest to foster that relationship even after he picked up and moved 9 hours away.

@anita5050 You are correct and I can’t even imagine how much that affects his brain and the trauma that comes with it as i am well aware of childhood trauma from things i have dealt with. I do see a therapist as does he but we havnt done family which is really what my next move should be. I...

@samuel93 Yes he is ADHD and it took a horrible year to finally get him placed in an IEP. He definitely has issues with executive function and there are underlying issues. He needs that outlet. The idle hands are bad bad bad.

@laurapalooza I appreciate your input.

@crs_7 Thank you I agree taking him out of sports will be one of the worst or is it worse 😅 things I can do.

@laurapalooza Absolutely will do. Thanks.

@laurapalooza I guess I need to try that. The taking the one thing that is a good thing for him (lacrosse) kills me thinking about and has been discouraged by his therapists. I do much of those. Here is my problem with phone he is at home a few hours before I get off work. Maybe 2 accept on...

I’ll add I am always in frequent communication with his teachers. I look everyday to see what he’s missing check with teachers if it’s accurate then if he is make him do it. The problem is even if he does he just doesn’t turn it in. I ask again then it’s too late bc it goes on and on like...

@laurapalooza He does but his highschool team while attached to the highschool is not school sanctioned so those rules don’t apply. I keep up with his grades but turns absolutely nothing in and literally sits in class and does nothing. I suppose taking away lacrosse could be something but I...

@ajtony1313 Yea i definitely don’t want to jeopardize our relationship or cause him any more trauma than he may already have.

@alexdenipaul He is a sweet kid actually… he is pretty kind and will take up for those he loves and other kids.

@tom4508mfkd 💯 thanks and hugs Reddit friend! We will make it through this 🙏

@przemek I missed the move comment. I have thought about that but I worked so hard to live where I am at in one of the best public school systems in my area. Until we address the underlying issue at hand moving will solve nothing because he will seek the same kind of people.

@przemek I think you are right and I appreciate your comment. We really both need to learn how to deal with life together single mom and son and how to deal with his ADHD and a better parenting style. More sports might be an option though lacrosse starts in a week or two and will go through...

@anita5050 During the school year he doesn’t have too much idle time because he is playing lacrosse. They have fall and spring ball and it’s 5-6 days a week. He is actually able to play because it isn’t school sanctioned. He does have a cell phone. I pay for it I am a single mother I pay for...

@ziko It really is so tough. My is grounded and will be grounded for the foreseeable future… He can go to school, lacrosse and a job if he gets one. I don’t want him to have to get a job though I want him to be able to focus on school and lacrosse because being ADHD he seriously needs the...

@colwyn Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Promise I’m not crying. 😭💜

@me4u I struggled with impulsiveness my whole life but was yes I guess able to mask everything else because I excelled at school and was very driven to do well and have continued to be that way even if I make stupid ass decisions outside of that. I do come from a place of understanding I just...

@katrina2017 Oh man. Idk why I don’t do this. Maybe it’s bc I’m add myself so it makes for double disaster but I absolutely resonate with the need for lists and instant gratification. Tiny little rewards that will be a little happy after doing something that might take some mental effort that...
