[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a wise decision.

Our family life has been suffering with a less extreme situation, albeit we have more than one child with ADHD and anxiety.  It is like a ricochet effect, whenever even just one person in the family does something disruptive due to ADHD or anxiety...there will be a reaction by the others who also have similar problems.  It is like having multiple tornadoes under your roof.  Even if they are small, each can wreak havoc.  It feels very lonely dealing with it.

We started medicating our oldest child and that already has made a world of difference for the dynamic.  Getting a second round of tests for younger child who is also having trouble now academically.  DH and I should probably be getting some counseling, but DH wont' budge even though he probably needs same medication our oldest has.

Thanks for sharing because so many of us feel alone and like we can't talk about it with anyone, for fear of being judged or that our kids will be judged and excluded more than they already are.[/quote]
