Every Which Way

I am the single mom of 3 wonderful children. My oldest child is grown and is a very successful computer guru.
The ages of my other children are 16 and 9. My sixteen year old (Keith) was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 5 and we continue to have adventures as he grows older.

My youngest (John) was diagnosed with Bi Polar disorder last year. I was always told he was very strong willed and stubborn. He has always had severe tantrums and experienced mania but no one ever suggested that I should have him evaluated until I transferred him again to a new school due to behavioral issues.

I have learned a great deal from therapists, doctors, researchers, and other parents that have experienced the challenges of raising a Bi Polar child. I often feel that the children High 5 each other as we face have challenges with the school system. I have managed to keep both of my children in the public school system which is a challenge in itself.

I very often feel that I am pulled "Every Which Way" in their challenges and adventures, but I strive to hold on and guide them through the challenges that they face.

This Blog hopefully will help others understand the challenges, joys, and adventures of our life. I hope to provide others with insight and help you know that your are not alone.
