How can I get my X to except our child has ADD EVERYONE BUT HE SEES IT. hE ONLY HAS HIM EVERY OTHER WEEKEND WH

Question

MY CHILD HAS BEEN ON 5MG FOR 2 YEARS I AM NOT A PARENT WHO JUST DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH A CHILD.

Answer 1

I have a similar situation. My ex agrees that our son has attention problems but doesn't agree he should be medicated. You have several options, one have your ex meet with your child's teachers and have him go along to the next Doctor appointment. That is what I did. My ex wanted to feel like he was being heard and that his opinion mattered.

Second, you could take your child to a different doctor for a second opinion, one of your ex choosing and get the diagnosis confirmed.

Third, ignore the ex. Most kids don't take ADD meds on weekends anyways. Just make sure he has it for school and that your ex knows he takes it on school days.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Well.... many people claim they have "ADD" and it's hard to believe whether someone really has it or not.

It's mostly about lack of discipline.

My boyfriend claims he had it when he was a child. He never took any kind of medicine for it because he didn't want to. It's all pretty much just in your head. No medicine.. no ritalin... and he turned out just fine.

Here is how to cure "ADD"..
