To make a long story short..... my niece, a single mother of four, is mentally at the end of her rope with her oldest son that is seven very angry and dx with ADHD and Emotional Issue's - the child is presently in counseling and lately he has been acting out physically toward the mother due to his anger and she is afraid that he may actually hurt her or one of his younger siblings.

HOW do other single parents handle the stress and some times fear that comes along with an angry adhd child?

He is on Adderall(sp) 10 mg 2x a day and will be seeing his doctor tomorrow about changing to a new medicine as this one does not seem to be helping... in mom's opinion it actually seems to have made him worse.
