Today I have been level headed, and though Hunter was difficult, I was able to handle it appropriately. I am just worried he feeds off my emotions, which are not very stable.
Kids definitely can feed off of our emotions, which can make life difficult.

As for the add, mood/anxiety disorders and stuff, if it is going to happen, it will happen.

I have a 10 year old with adhd. It sucks, but it isn't the end of the world
