I do hope that things work for the best for the kids sake and yours. I have been lucky because my kids step-daddy came out and said something is wrong with Mikie because he is way too active and everything. It is good the change you have seen in your boy. I hope all the children are doing better.

All the wishes in the world for things to work out for the best for each of you.
You've gotten some great advice from people who have been there and it sure sounds like your head and heart are in a very good place even though things are tough right now.
Are you planning on a separation at this point or have you decided for sure that divorce is the right decision?

LOL! you'll be on the path, not looking at all, and He'll send the one you deserve right at that moment. you've got way too many gifts to keep them to yourself! 
double prayers,
1mom1mom~~ Thank you for the prayers... but after the two husbands I have had... I don't think I want to get married again.. Only He knows what my path holds and I will follow whereever He leads me.

Anyone else noticing that we are all coming rfom about the same places in life? My heart breaks for MommaToFive, and I pray for her and her kids.....but I think it is interesting we all can kinda fill in the gaps in each others' lives. Most of us are blended families <from what I have seen> and most of us are married to <if not also diagnosed ourselves> an ADHD spouse. We have our battles with family and friends, we have few support networks and people who can safely watch our kids <without giving some sort of advice>. I am not happy that we are all sharing this road, but since we are, I am glad to have found my travelling companions!
MommaToFive:
Prayers and thoughts to you. Anyone who can shepherd 5 kids though this world at all is stronger woman than any trouble you could end up facing! Plus the fact, I'd be willing to bet you have been doing everything by yourself anyway and you are only losing a burden you don't need anyway. Hang in there!

Dear ERIN,
My heart goes out for you and your children.I can understand your fear of raising your five children alone.I was at first when we separated 4 yrs. ago but there is one God who will never be separated from us.He will be with us especially in difficult and fearful times.Likewise,we have undergone several counsellings and I have given much thought and weigh things over until I made the final decision.It's hard but through prayers,support from family and friends,eventually things/situations became lot easier and better.The start/change is often the most difficult but don't lose hope and trust in the Lord as you go through and you'll surely reach your future-secure and loving with your children.Live the present moment and offer your pains to Jesus Forsaken and you'll be guided through the Light of joyful life.Rest assured you and your family will constantly in my prayers.
Keep in touch!All of You are God's Special Children!

Erin,
I pray your children will grow to lean on the Lord, not their Daddy, with a true unconditional love that only God exemplifies. Maybe your husband will see the need for God in his life in few years from the sweet witness of his children's faith.
Stay strong and yet compassionate for your family as you fill both parenting roles in your home. I pray your son's body will accept treatment to make life easier in your household while you make ends meet.
May our Father God meet your every need with overabundant supply so that only he may be glorified.
Lori

Erin,
I have, in the past, been in a very similiar situation to yours. Going though what you have already been through, and possibly what is yet to come will not be an easy task. However God will be with you every step of the way, even when you don't feel him there. He is always there!
I distinctly remember the phases of denial, anger, hurt, poor pitiful me, and finially healing. All of these stages are necessary for full healing. Some are pure Hell.
Your strength, support of friends, and God will pull you through. Then one day you can be on the other side of all the YUK! Then you will look back and say, Wow! Look at God's plan for me and my children.
My prayers are with you, and God's grace is indeed awesome.

Thank you all for everything!! Your support and kind words are nearly overwhelming to me!! I cannot say how much you all help me. I am feeling so confident and so sure of the choices being made. I am so glad I have found this place and all of you!! You all truly are part of my family and I am so very blessed!!
I know that the paths we are to travel are not all easy ones.. And I also know with His guidence and my faithfulness, my kids and I will be just fine. I hope my husband can come to lean on the Lord.... So many things would be better if he would just remember who put us here and be a faithful servent to Him.... I pray with all my heart he will find his way home....
My kids are so wonderful and I thank God every single day for them and for the many, many, many blessings He gives to us! I cannot imagine facing this without the Lord and also without you all!!!
((((((((((((((((((((((Everyone)))))))))))))))))))))))
A great big hug to everyone in the wonderful town of Acceptance!!!! You are the best group of people I have had the pleasure to meet!!!
Thanks again!!
Erin and her 5 little monsters ;D

My prayers are with you! Sometimes I feel like my marriage is falling apart. My husband is to hard on our ds and I am a little more lenient. We often disagree and its hard. There are days that I think it will all be ok and others I just want to cry. I know how you feel! I will keep you in my prayers. Christine |
