M does.
He is pissed that he has to get a Psych Eval done. I have known this from READING his paper the Judge gave him on the first. READING what a judge gives you, what a concept.
Oiy. This kid is "legally" responsible for himself as an adult. Yet he cannot have the common sense to read what the judge gave him. Or listen to what he had to say.
So I was talking to him about this psych eval that he has to get done, and he said that didn't need it That it was BS. I informed him that he had one done before and was diagnosed with things so it was necessary. I only mentioned the ADD that he was diagnosed with, but there are others.
He tried telling me that doctor was a quack. That it was a piss poor evaluation. That people with ADD don't need meds because it is all up to choice for behaviors.
This brought on quite an upset from me. Doctors are doctors for a reason. They are educated. Yes some do diagnose wrong. BUT, if you were helped in middle school with ability to focus and be in general population class...I would say that you need them.
I told him it was like saying that a person with high blood pressure just because they don't exhibit signs shouldn't take the meds the doctor prescribed. Or that a person with depression shouldn't take meds even though there is a medical chemical imbalance.
I got pissed. I told him if a doctor prescribed him medicine he was taking it. "Only until I am 18" was his response, and I said, "Um...how about until you are done with school." And living with us, I wanted to add.
Honestly, I think he is going to be diagnosed with anxiety.
He's been diagnosed with ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), Antisocial Personality Disorder, and a couple others that Mom told me but I cannot remember.
I took his phone I was so mad. No joke.
Gah....I will give it back but he needs to realize his opinions are not always right, especially when I am trying to explain to him about WHY they are doing it, and why medications help people.
His attitude to those with more authority than him he doesn't do well with at all. It is ridiculous!!
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
