He is ADHD so his life skills are very much lacking. He's 18 now so that is a part of the frustration. He also let someone in our house that robbed us...of course he didn't think that he was "that kind of kid". I know that he and I are alot alike as I am ADHD also.
It just seems right now though, that everything he does costs me money. He was fired from 3 jobs while he wasn't medicated for a period of time so finding a job not is not exactly easy. We are in bookoo amounts of counselling and all that, but I guess that it's just everything at once with him.
He's realizing that he is 2 weeks away from being out of school and needing to plan a future and I'm realizing that he's 18, he could walk out the door any time he wanted to but that he's not ready to be able to do that and I take that on as being my fault instead of being able to say to myself that he's just not like everyone else and takes extra work.
So I guess in my mind,I have reasons to be a little more irritable, but is it really reasons or just excuses? I'm not sure where the line is on that...
