[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and both have ADHD, LDs, one has s complicated mental illness , one has a chronic disease, both have anxiety, one has depression.  I love them dearly but nothing about this has been remotely easy. [/quote]

I'm OP.  Not sure who the above is, if they made a typing error or are being sarcastic.

Anyways, 12:55, I'll give your post some thought. And thank you other PPs just for saying I'm not alone in this.  DD is back and in fine form, snarky, and won't write a thank you note to an adult who actually hosted her for a night last week..."I'll get to it!"  argh.  Don't want to turn that into a power tussle so I'm trying to be patient, but I hate it when it involves 3rd parties.

Then to put it all in perspective; I was talking to a mom of a rising 7th grader at another school.  She worries about her son because of the stuff that's going on in his social circle.  A kid in her son's class has run away from home, so the rising 7th grade moms have all been trying to find him.  He was found at a girl's house who is a known drug dealer (just graduated 6th grade, and she's a drug dealer!) and the runaway kid has already been in rehab twice for cocaine use.  This story sounds so incredible to me, but I know it's possible.

So I need to step back and really be thankful if getting snark and entitlement from a rising 11th grader is the only problem on my plate.  I need to sit with that. hmm.  30 seconds of sitting with that and I'd like to go and give her a goodnight kiss (but I won't because it will backfire).  [/quote]
