hi... hang in there... you are not alone (although i know that does not help your 5-8 hours). i take lexapro, which helps the stress level and accepting my son's adhd for what it is has helped alot. i dont have the same parenting experience that other moms do... i have stopped comparing and that has helped a lot too. we used to spank and yell and repeat a lot... and now we are quieter and that helps me more than anyone. i try to compare nate only to nate and see the good in him. i am not a single mom and sometimes my husband helps and sometimes he is just another person (adhd adult) to deal with. your efforts are appreciated, your mommy hood is priceless... slow down... take the small success... look for them, theya re there... please wb or email if you need support or to vent... you are not alone :) erindoubek@earthlink.net
