Oh boy!!! *SIGH* So, my step-son's mom no longer can handle him. He is 9 and is severely ADHD. He hits kids in school, is completely addicted to his video games and laptop and is highly socially inept.

He may be coming up here to live...tomorrow! BIG changes in store.
We are going to have to find him a school, find a doctor and therapist, get everything set up.

I am really really anxious and scared about it. When he visited for a month it was ok. We taught him to take off his shoes when he comes in the house and made him stay at the dinner table until being excused.

I know the "honeymoon" phase isn't going to last very long with him.

I am excited, too....I love him and would love to be able to provide him the type of environment he needs....a positive one. Not one where his mom threatens to kill herself(Which he is doing now when he gets into trouble) or where his grandma and grandpa treat him like a two year old. He can't tie shoes, he can't cut up his own food, etc.

Boy...the anxiety is bugging me...I am shaking and I can't stop.
