New here....

I spoke to my social worker today and tomorrow i have my social worker and therapist coming out to see me. It is a review meeting and to get any questions answered if i need to.

I am dreading it.

Angel you are not alone going through this many here have and are still going through what you are .On thing it`s great to see you found healing well i have found it a great place just to let it out .
I have and will for the rest of my life be fighting severe depression in varing degrees .Meds help but talking to some one is the best treatement and i thoroughly recommend it .Sure enough just sharing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger can be so hard . If you find it really difficult try writing them down and taking them to your therapist it will make things a lot easier .
I too havd a child with ADHD and recently she was also given the diagnosis of Aspergers and mild autism alonG with ODD Life has been extreemily difficult for the family and me as she takes all her frustrations out on me and in recent times has become really violent with me but i`m use to covering up bruises .She is almost 19 and is one of the major contributors to my depression .
Being a mother on your own can be difficult but you have achieved great things you are by no means a failure and you have a whole life ahead with your children things will get better .Just take each day as it comes and don`t take on more than you can handle .Remember it will still be there tomorrow .
There are a lot of wonderful caring people in this world and this forum has it`s good share of them .I hope you will find it`s a good place for you to seek refuge and to be able to talk freely .
SUPER HUGS to you Angel .Stay safe and take care because we care .Jane

Angel my daughter was diagnosed when she was two thats how bad she was .But i fully understand about being scared of your son .My daughter bashed me this morning and i have been in so much pain all day and am now wearing a lovely big bruise down the full length of my arm .The hardest part is that even though she is bad when her father is home from work she is so much more aggressive when he is at work and of course i`m her punching bag .Added with my depression i just have no where to turn .No one from either side of the family want to have anything to do with her and being the age she is she is so lazy that she will not do anything .

It wasn`t until a couple of years ago that hubby actually admitted she had a problem but he does nothing to help the problem i think if he ignors it it will go away .Will be interesting to see what he says when he sees my arm tonight when he gets home but some how don`t think i will be holding my breath waiting for anything to be done.

This is a 24 hr a day job and no one really gives a dam .

I have to go i have to get out of here ....Jane

#Angel#,

              You know who I am, and know I care. Also, remember, we are both vulneralbe because of the other situation we were in. You can contact me any time, and I will help you the best way I can. I may not be to much help this week, as I have my trial on the 8th. But I will keep making sure you are ok.

Hey Angel,
Hi there? How are you today? You know I get nervous going to therapy because I start to try to think of what question she will ask first and how will I answer.
So you did better than I do......................be proud of you as I am.
