We all know that the world can be cruel in many way's but when it come's to our children it's the worst thing ever! We find ourselves looking for answer's that we don't know if we will ever find them. We also start looking to point the finger at!
But is this the way we should handle thing's? Maybe, maybe not but we can't help ourselves from doing it as it's a natural reaction to do so.
My son has ADHD and living with it is hard! We don't love him any other way but we are learning different thing's each and everyday. It's hard as my son doesn't open up to his feeling's.
But him knowing that we are there for him likes to make me think that he will be able to come and talk to us at any time. His mental Health get's in the way of his school life a lot and it's hard for him to sit in class without doing something that will get him into trouble.
When he is at home we try different thing's that he want to do to try and help him understand what his Mental Health is like. We answer any question's he may have to the best of our ability. His Mental Health comes with a lot of appointments so talking to him a few day's before help's him build up any question's he may want to ask while we are there.
He doesn't cope well without a routine (and we find having a routine help's) and doesn't like it when it is suddenly changed.
He likes thing's to be in places that he puts them in and doesn't like it if it's changed (we stay out of his room). Because of his Mental Health problems it's hard to go out and about without him restacking the shelf's in the shopper markets or wondering off and not staying with us.
People always judge before knowing what is really going on and that is natural but it also wind us up as well as they don't know what is wrong with that child/ren.
But what I am saying is whatever they have it doesn't make them any less of a person then we are and they should always remember that (easier said than done I know). They are their own special person and we love them nonetheless.
