So I sit here dazed but oddly relieved, perhaps if I explain you'll understand why.
For the last 15 years I've have always known something wasn't quite right, I knew and have been fighting her corner with every teacher, adult, friend, family members, doctors, etc etc, blah blah.
She's always been angry, "busy", 100mile and hour, rude, inappropriate, did I mention angry? Distracted, fidgety.. Gosh read the symptoms list she ticks all the boxes, but at the same time fun and full of character.. Three years ago she really started to go downhill, lying, anger to the point of being physically violent with me, making bad choices etc so they started treated her for bi-polar with limited results and awful side effects to the medication.. It's a long story and I'm trying to keep it short.
Today finally we have been told it's ADHD.. I'm clueless and have no idea, I have a lot of reading ahead of me, and also the questions about medications? Should I change her diet?
What now?
What do I do?
Words of wisdom eagerly awaited.
