Hi Dawngeorgia! *hi*
You are most welcome here, and I'm glad you've joined our family. :)
Being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in the world I think, yet it is also one of the greatest gifts as well, even with difficult children. I have one adult D who struggles with emotional regulation, and there have been many dark days of worry. Hugs to you because I know it is hard. Take it one day at a time.
We are here to support and help you. Please keep sharing and reading and learning all you can. You are cared for!
