So life is pretty rough right now. Ella is having an extermail difficult time in school. Her behavior has gotten very out of control. WE have meet with her doctor and they have her on meds. We have an appointment with a nuero-psy. And I truely need answers. At least once a week I must leave work to handle Ella. I cry all the time. What kind of mother am I that I have a child like this.

Ella has very bad issues and Jay he has ADHD, What did I do to my poor beatiful babies. I  want/need answers so badly, today I cried my eyes out in the principals ofice becuase I had to go and get Ella beucase the day was so bad. SO my daughter and I wnet ot the grocery store where all I wanted to to was cry and ate a bag of cheese doodles. I wish I could tell yo I feel better. I am sad, and empty. I am watching my daughter and am helpless, what kind of mommy can not help her baby.

Everyone wants to throught diganoses out, some say maybe Autusim, others say may be emotional. All I can tell you is my sweet cruly haired little girl is on heavy duty drugs, the kind that treat THREE things..

Skoziphernia, Bi-polar disorder and issues that relate to Autiums.. And it is working so which one of these will my baby have. I cna't say the words must less type them on the page. It is horrible. I know have have been absent and not posting much, I am tyring, but honestly I work, cry, sleep and try very hard to keep my world in check. I will do my very best to be here more often and try to update you as I can.

Thank you

Michelle, I wish that I could crawl right through this computer screen and giver you a hug.

Talking and writing does help with your emotional aspect of it. It won't solve Ella's issues but it will give you some relief; albeit, probably small.

I know that you are not a bad mother! You try, you get up every morning and face the day. You are there giving love and support to your baby girl that is trapped inside a world that nobody understands. Life is hard for her but you keep on loving her for who she is and will become. You keep searching for answers (that must be out there), you don't give up on her and you won't let anyone else give up on her either.

In my book, that makes you a Pretty Darn Good Mother!

You need to give yourself a break, give yourself a pat on the back and find an outlet for yourself. You are not invincible, it is okay to cry and to say, "why me" once in a while. Please stop blaming yourself for the things that you can not control.

Michelle, please call me if you really want to talk. I am a really good listener. I am not a Dr. but can be a great sounding board. E-mail me if you want my #

Michelle, you didn't do anything to your kids except love them for who they are! They are gifts from God and you are blessed to have them. The answers will come and when they do you will find the strength to guide them through life's hurdles and help them to become the absolute best people they can be.

You are strong! You are amazing! Don't forget it!

And when you need a little support, feel free to vent here. We know and understand what a great person you truly are. ((HUGS!!))

MI-CHELLE! You just stop it right now!  God gave you two beautiful children who each have their own special needs because He knew you were the right perfect mother for them.  He knew you would be the one to be able to get the to root of the issues and help them be the great kids that they are.

But I am sorry that you and Ella are struggling so very much.  Keep us updated, and keep doing what you are doing.  HUGS!
