I hv put my life on pause! I do everything I can do make sure my son is happy, I know he need help in life, however I forget that I have another child, she is getting totally ignored, My husband is getting none of my quality time. I havent done anything I want to do in a long while, its all abt HIM!

Despite all this my son do things he is not supposed to do,

I want to back off a little and give him freedom, he is almost 18! But I feel like he need that guidance, that support from me!

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is sucking life out of me! :(

God Bless you!! Living with adhd is hard on the person that has it and the people that support him. Keep supporting your son, he needs you. However, make sure he is learning responsibility also. I think the right meds are key, and also finding a good therapist for him and your family that specializes in adhd.
