I’ve sat down a thousand time to write something in the past few days.
Nothing comes.
I feel like my blog is totally depressing with all of the updates on my son.
I can’t help it.
The update today: no change.
It’s another day of hoping I can pull him out of this.
I wake up in the hopes that today will be different.
It’s not.
It’s awful.
I hate it.
All I can do is thank you for all of your encouraging words of suport on Wednesday.
All of your prayers and kind comments have meant so much to me.
Please continue to keep our family in your prayers over the weekend.
Somewhere along the way I picked up homeschooling two boys and blogging. When I'm not scrubbing toilets or answering endless questions, I'm usually here, over sharing it all! My writing is always honest, sometimes sarcastic, and never perfect. I hope to keep my kids from seeking adult therapy. I know. Pipe dreams...You can find me as @TheMommyMess on Twitter and on Facebook.

Hi Adrienne,
I wonder if there is some type of group that you could become a part of that is made up of parents of children with similar struggles that your precious guy is dealing with. I'm sure it would help to see you're not in this battle alone as well as to have a community that really understands where you are coming from as well.
Just a thought. Praying for you today. Stay strong.

I just read your other blog about this. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I do know people who have struggled with depression, OCD, ADD, ADHD, and other similar problems with their children and it seems it's all about finding the right medicine (or combination of medicine) but that takes time. And in the meantime, it's tough. I'm praying for you and your family and I hope there are others on here who have been through this who can share with you the wisdom they've acquired.
You're on my mind sweetie. I keep thinking good thoughts for all of you.
I'm still praying for you.
I hope that your son finds his peace soon!
sending good thoughts your way..hugs
I'm so glad you are using your blog as a way to walk through this difficult time! It is your safe place. It's raising our awareness. It's a win-win.
You are doing such a good job at the (temporarily) hard work of being you. Hang in there.
So sorry your family is going through such a hard time. I hope he gets better soon.
Hi, Adrienne,
Your blog has blessed me tremendously on days when I felt frustrated or alone in struggling with being a great mother and wife. Today, I would like to encourage you to remember that God is able! He wants us to cast all of our cares on Him. Let Him carry you and your family through this trying time. I am praying for your family. God bless.
Life is full of valleys and hills. You're climbing a hill right now and once you reach the top, it will be all worth it. You're in a trying time of your life and it's only natural to have only that on your mind. Thinking of you.
I am very new to your blog and have read a little about your struggle with your son. I'm very sorry about what you are going through. I know God's grace is sufficient, but sometimes that's hard to see in the midst of the pain. Prayers and good thoughts to you.
