ADHD

Super Jacob has ADHD.

I hate ADHD!

I hate watching him suffer though this disease. I hate watching him struggle with getting ready & doing chores in the morning ~ without 100 reminders or re-directions. I hate that he is so sensitive & has a meltdown every time he doesn't get his way. I hate that I put him on a controlled substance to calm him & help him focus. I hate how his medication makes him feel. I hate that I have to force him to eat breakfast & lunch every day. I hate the fight every night before bedtime. I really hate that I lose my temper & raise my voice at him, because I know that he cannot control himself.

I hate ADHD!


But I could never hate my son.

I love Jacob!

I love that Jacob was my first ~ it was just him & I for six years. I love that Jacob is a strong kid & has overcome some difficulties in his life ~ it has only made him stronger! I love that Jacob now has Superdad ~ Jeff loves Jacob as if he were his own. Jeff gave me the courage & the opportunity to homeschool him. I love that Jacob is smart & loves to learn ~ contradictory to what the schools & teachers told me. I love that Jacob is passionate about his faith & his relationship with God ~ he enjoys digging into the Bible & asking me a million questions I cannot answer. I love that he is sensitive & loves unconditionally because at the end of every day he always comes to hug me & tell me that he loves me.

I love Jacob!
