    I’m trying so hard to stop perpetuating the cycle with my son.

    I’m obviously ADHD (undiagnosed), but I learned coping mechanisms at a young age, some healthy and some unhealthy, same as my father and grandfather.

    My son is now fully diagnosed at 6, has weekly therapy, summer occupational therapy, and is doing medication trials that seem to help a ton. It’s honestly amazing and so incredibly sad watching his journey. As a family we were so frustrated and unhealthy due to something he had no control over. I only wish we could have taken action sooner.

    For anyone who is struggling with a child acting out, don’t wait a second longer than you have to. The cost is so so worth it.
