SO MANY LIARS | ADHD Information

I get so sick of people claiming to be parents and not knowing a thing.

They claim, my child refuses to take medication after years of taking it.

LIES.

we adhd'ers know why this post is a lie.

If I tell you, then the trolls would know why and change the posts to where I couldn't tell.

any post from oldtimer,oldermom,pastmemberbrent,brent.etc.. seeing a pattern of habitual lying here. and habitual post formats and the same gripe from them, OVER AND OVER.

Then the 3,000 link posts.

and the 800 mile long post that takes days to decipher and uncode.

and the bash on those with adhd.

and the bash on parents with kids with adhd.

and the barrage on having ANYTHING, other than a tummy ache.

and the uninformed that, this will go away on it's own, like a tummy ache.

I have to stop or I will become an 800 mile long post.

I think you need some sleep.

Bugz, I'm not sure the point of your post, but pastmember/oldtimer/brent are the same person. OlderMom/psm0904 are the same person but different from pastmember/oldtimer/brent. They had trouble logging on with their old usernames and changed their usernames to get acces to the site. They are both parents -- Brent is the father of a boy with I'm not sure what dx because I don't think he's gotten a definitive dx. OlderMom is the mother of a 12-year-old boy who was misdiagnosed with first ADHD/ODD and then bipolar when he really has PDD-NOS. I know these facts because I read the posts very carefully. I don't claim to understand all of Brent's posts because I think he has a disorder of written expression (or some other problem). But I think he and OlderMom have every right to post here as the other parents. They are not trolls. Just the facts, please.

SmallMom38780.8296180556did u forget your meds?Thanks, smallmom from AlmostAsSmallMom. Actually I have five kids--28, 28, 21, 12 and 9. Age 21 and 9 may have ADHD, especially 21. 12 has PDD-NOS. Nope, I'm not a troll. I'm actually trying to help those who feel hopeless because nothing for ADHD is working. yes, believe in ADHD--I know many kids who have it. Anyways, thanks for clarifying. Oldermom in either identity has always been very supportive and helpful in my experience. And yes there are times that brent in his various identities may be a little confusing but he always means well. I can't even think of either ever advocating against meds either but more advocating for a definitive dx as some meds exacerbate masking disorders. I can say that my son has taken meds for ADHD for over three years but there are times he refuses to take them although he knows that they help him. My ADHD cousin went off meds himself in his teens and refuses to take them today although they would help him. I am clinically depressed and there are times I intentionally go off my meds although I know that they make my life 100% easier and that most likely in my case it is a chemical imbalance that I inherited genetically.

Ok, when you come on the site and say jonnie has been taking ritalin the last 8 yrs, and now wants to stop....I might believe that, opposed to jonnie refuses to take his medication.

Most all parents say the name of the medication.

especially when he has been taking it for supposed years.

Ok I am off my slam box...

IMac38946.4961226852I changed my name because one day I tried to sign on and couldn't do it. Dunno why. Thanks for the support, guys.

Not to get in the middle, but this is a support group. Not a bash group. People come here to feel safe. This has been a loving and very supportive environment. I have talked to a great deal of people on here and respect what they say. I think in all honesty that yes to each is own. But at the same time, if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all.

I guess I can't understand why is it an issue if a kid doesn't want to take their meds. Does that mean the poster is a troll?

Even if they did take it every day for 8y----things change, kids change. Maybe they turned defiant and the kid wants more control. It certainly doesn't mean that they are trolls. Why would anyone even come on here and waste their time posting if they aren't "real"?

Smilies for above post. lol

Did I forget my manners?

Bugzy,

I know we had an on-slot of trolls on a few or the others boards. But being accused of being a troll when you're not...isn't so nice. (notice smiley <)

Some parents have issues themselves that can make communication a little difficult. Some could have OCD...with the tendency to want to repeat things. They mean no harm.

Sorry guys, I did add smileys.

I agree with the above two posters and avoid responsing to negativity..trying to keep it positive

I think most people here are only doing their best to help others and recieve help from others.

A great forum well done all

I understand i am new to this site and I have two children in my home who have adhd and adhd with odd...Now i saw this and was upset that bugzapper was outright calling people liars when in fact this person doesn't know these other people he is talking about...now my son and my life partners son have been takeing their meds for a long while now and there are day they refuse.....children will be children some more stubborn then others now the oldest here the adhd with odd is 8yrs old and he seems to think he is superman and the crystal will help him one day....to me that is his thinking....I think as adults we need to desifer what is fact from fiction but callin people liars without knowing for sure is unadult like sounds like he is being 8yrs old without his magic crystal for the day......

Bugz,

I know that sometimes Oldtimer (Brent) can get on ones nerves but he and his wife are sincerely trying to do what is best for their kids.

And I love Oldermom (PSM) - she has helped me a hundred ways!

Not sure if you are talking about a specific thread but I know some kids do not want to take their meds. My niece is one of those kids and that is why we started the alternative way. Nothing against meds.
