Some days it is just way too much. The amount of time and energy it takes to get her through her day is more than I have sometimes. She is so smart and actually gifted, but if I did not use every ounce of my energy to stay on top of her HW, CW, projects and activities she would have straight F's. It is so frustrating and sometimes I get so angry.
Her latest thing is fake asthma attacks to leave school and spend time with me. It is driving me crazy and I am just going to lose it. I end up missing or leaving work to rush to her school or rush her to the 'ER only to find out her breathing is fine it is just the non-stop coughing. She has no sense of consequences or what her actions cause. She is a really sweet child who just has not concept sometimes of anyone but herself.
Now she wants to be with me 24/7 and anytime I am away from her she wants to know where I am, who I am with and when I will be back. She calls or texts me constantly. It is almost to the point of being completely irrational.
I know all of these things are out of her control for the most part and that she is not trying to drive me crazy on purpose, but the result is the same. I am at the end of my rope and I need her to give me some space. There is no one to reallytalk to about this because they could not even beging to understand what it takes to deal with her ADHD and other issues.
This too shall pass, but when?
