struggling

[kelliac]

I have a 10 year old son that was diagnosed in January with ADHD and since then has been diagnosed with depression. This child is my step son legally but I have been raising him since he was 1. Every day is a struggle. Whether it is staying on task, having a conversation or doing what he is supposed to do. I am looking for whatever support is out there.
