How much can you take?

Well back to square one. We made it to day 5 of our son being on the new medication Vyvance and it didnt seem to last as good as it did the previous nights. Colby started up again first running n the halls and then just kept escalating to yelling, throwing things, hitting and even put holes in his bedroom door. I dont know how much longer I can keep getting abused like this every night...where  my throats gone from yelling and fear of a 6 yr old kicks in. He is getting stronger and more violent with his behaviors. Now hes throwing chairs....give him time and what will he be doing to me?!
I love him with all my heart and we do everything with him...find any activity to get him involved. But I just dont know what to do anymore...I dont understand how my beautiful, fun loving baby boy who was good all day becomes this violent, very angry boy.
I dont know how parents deal with this or worse...day in and day out...but we do.

A way to get through it

So its day three of having my 6yr old on a medication called Vyvance and so far so good. Crossing our fingers
OH YEAH! If you're reading this you're probably thinking huh? Kinda just slipped that in there out of the blue. Well, two weeks ago our smart, wise beyond his years, yet very emotional and ever moving 6yr old little boy was diagnosed with ADHD. This isnt out of left field for us...we have been dealing with trying to get him "help" since he was 2 and a half. So FINALLY we got a diagnosed opinion and just hoping its right (as we still think he may have other factors like OCD or some traits of aspergers). I am hoping to now use this blog as an outlet for me and hope it will help me get out all the stress, frustration, tears and yes even all those laughs at the happy moments too that I go through as a mother with a child with ADHD.
I feel I need to make a commitment to doing this blog regularly now as it will not only be therapy for me but also be a place to look back on everything someday and see I made it through.
So heres to taking one day at a time...and every nite as a writing experience from here on out
