Late taxes paid off but can't be relieved about it. Now dealing with the son's ADHD, which will require the tweeking around of medicines, and we simply can't afford to buy medicine after medicine til we find one that works. We live paycheck-to-paycheck and that's all we have. Bills to pay, food, gas doesn't leave much left. We do have a prescription card to help pay for medications but can still be so expensive when you don't have much to spare. Plus stressing about how his reaction will be on the medicine. I don't want to "lose" my son like the first time we tried dealing with this 5 years ago. I love my son the way he is - active, ornery, full of life, happy. He was so sad, just sat and colored, hardly spoke the first time we tried. So I took him off it. We're doing it to help with his learning more than behavior. He's on a first grade level going into 4th grade. Has ADHD, Asperger's, and mild mental impairments. So school is really rough for him. Last year when he was diagnosed, the psychologist said his brain moves too fast to focus on anything so that whatever you tell him is pretty much in one ear and out the other. It doesn't stick. She said it was because of ADHD and this is why we're doing it. I'm just having a really hard time dealing with all this right now. I need a break from my life really bad.
