I’ve had Lily for about 12 years. She was a stray we found and her coat was much lighter when found. This picture is of her recently. I’ve been told she is everything from a tortoise shell cat, a torbie, and a snowshoe cat but I am not quite sure. What do you think?
I am going through a lot problems with my child. He is 7 and was diagnosed with ADHD at 6. Between his IEP, always hearing from the principal, teachers, counselors, and making constant visits to the pediatrician, we just cannot get ahead. We have found a medication that works for too short a time. What is supposed to be effective 10-12 hours lasts about 4 hours for him. I dread this child when his medication wears off. We are going to get him reevaluated for other issues because he is so aggressive and angry all the time. He will cuss at school, throw things, grab others, hit his father, yell, and scream. One day he started yelling the f word over and over at the top of his lungs at school. I was mortified. We had one good solid patch of a few months where things were going fine, then it fell apart. How does anyone live their life? I myself have OCD that was diagnosed a long time ago and I have been treating it for years successfully. We are getting ready to move back to my hometown and he will attend the schools I attended in this small town. That’s another thing. The constant fear of others treating him differently or talking about him behind his back. Judging me and my husband as failures because we can’t seem to get our child under control. He is the sweetest most kind hearted child, but all of that goes away when he isn’t properly medicated. It’s like Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde over and over again. I’m trying to work a full time job, navigate my husband trying to find a job after retiring from the military, getting ready for this move, and deal with trying to get him evaluated. How does anyone live normally?
