My 7 year old son Zachary was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago. I know that the doctors have to change meds and dosages and all, but he is driving me crazy. He can be the sweetest, most loving kid as long as he is in a good mood but he is really moody and hateful most of the time. Every morning is one big fight after another! And all day long he can be so mean to me and his sister and brother.  Its like his teacher says " Oh he was so good at school, so quiet I didn't even know he was in the room. But when he is at home he is picking fights with me and his brother and sister. He is really destructive and will break things. But he is the one of the smartest kids I have ever sen. He can help his sister with her homework, well more tell her she is wrong or right then help. He is in 1st grade and she is in 2nd. Ane he reads reaaly well but I have hell trying to get him top sit down and do his homework and  to read his AR books for school it would be easier to get the wall to read them than him. Is there any way to ready all of us for this ADHD thing or this type of normal? I find myself in the morning thinking " oh no, it is morning I know that my day consists of alot of hell." And at night I am so stressed from over the course of the day that I cry myself to sleep. My doctor has me on nerve meds and meds for depression because I sometimes feel like the way he acts is because of something I have done wrong with him.I was a single mom for years because his and my daughter's "sperm donor" was more worried about drugs than being a dad. I am married now to my husband who has stepped up as dad to all of my kids plus the 2 that are not his. But I know he has to get tired of all the drama all the time. I guess I just needed to vent and see if this type of thing is normal with ADHD. Thanks for reading this I know it is long.frustratedbanging head into wall
