Good Morning, I am Denise and I am new to post. I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and soon to be 46. I live with my 13 yr. old Bipolar son Daniel and two cats, Bandi and Roxi.
I am also Bipolar.
I just wanted to check out a new forum for support.
I start homeschooling my Daniel this week. I am not too sure how to begin. I am looking to read how others manage.
I sympathise with all of you. Daniel is also "severe anxiety disorder" and medicated for that so he has special needs there too. I dont believe the schools have a clue how to deal with our loved ones. They simply have not been trained. And while they would like to pride themselves on being a caring bunch just how caring can they be when our little ones interfere with the fragile peace that they are able to maintain on a good day? And what about on a bad day? We know how challenging our loved one's needs are ourselves so we can well imagine how difficult a situation they must contend with.
I will not only be homeschooling my Daniel but I will also need to work from home too. I am a writer so I have multiple challenges here.
Thank you all so much for posting suggestions. I look forward to checking out the links.
I just hope to God that I can do justice for my Daniel cause he is very bright and should be an A student.
I look forward to reading your posts and hope you all have a terrific day! Denise
