Hi folks..  I'll take a while to read thru all the messages sometime to catch
up on everything in here, but for now...
I'm a single mom of 2, an 11 year old girl and a 13 year old boy.  Been 
raising
them alone for over 10 years.  My boy is ADHD and also recently diagnosed
bipolar.  I'm going absolutely nuts on a regular basis, usually from his
antics, and adding to that having to raise him alone.  I haven't had any
significant support in this specific issue...I'd heard of CHADD, but I don't
have a car, and the local meetings are quite inaccessible to me even by bus. 
So I hope you folks will bear with me, this is the first place I've found
where I'll be able to dump some of what I deal with and talk to people who 
will
be able to relate and understand.  I'll be happy to go into more detail about
some of my challenges of late shortly, but first of all just wanted to stop 
n
and introduce myself.  Now that I've found a safe place to share my 
experience,
excuse me while I just have a seat over here in the corner and finally 
reathe
a little.   I'm sure glad this forum is here...
I'm rambling...feeling stressed, excited, apprehensive...just at the
anticipation of finally being able to connect with a sort of peers in this...
shows huh?
