A Wild Ride

Do you have a story you would like to share with other readers about life with a challenging child? *

As a parent of a challenging child, I often feel as if I am friendless. See the teacher frown. See my husband scowl, my neighbor roll her eyes. Look at the expression on my child’s face. Yet through my support group, I know I have friends, not just the neighbor-next-door, but true friends who understand the difficulties I face.

Sometimes though, I’m too tired to talk. But for me, it’s never too late to write. And so my friend, I offer you the same opportunity. Write to us about your parenting situation. Share your story of love and confusion, exhaustion and exhilaration, love and heartache. Tell us about your child’s good days and his bad days – your successes and your attempts at success. Our Blog welcomes you and your story. Take it from me; once you share your story, the healing begins. --- Elizabeth
