Our first therapy appointment | ADHD Information

hey kristy, i haven't talked to you in a while.... i hope the therapist can help you and your family out..having a child with a illness is very hard on a marriage..hopefully the therapist can help you and your husband cope with your son together...good luck..and about your co-pay ask the therapist if they have a sliding scale fee..    Well we had our first therapy appointment today with Andrew.  I think that it went well especially considering he usually masks in front of doctors.  He wasn't completely himself but he was more himself there than he ever has been with anyone else.  She has suggested that we do group therapy with all of the kids and get some of the pressure off of him for now so that he is more somfortabe and acts more himself.  We are going to see a different psychatrist in a couple weeks on her suggestion so that maybe if there is a med issue it can be worked out sooner or later.  This is all gonna cost me an arm and a leg overall since each visit is a copay of 50 but hopefully we can get a handle on our life.  I need to and I think that the husband will listen more if we are getting it from a doc and that they are not just my ideas of what to do.  I just need to get some help for him and us.  I can't keep this up on my own and honestly the pressures on my marriage are getting bad.  I am always worn out and mad and he doesn't get any of it and his parenting style is too rough as far as I am concerned.  Good luck Kristy...the therapy sounds promising...I hope it all works out  soon so you can get some relief
