I know it sounds like common sense, and yet not many of us realize the importance of a support group especially pertaining to a specific "circumstance" we're in in our lives right now.
When I first discovered that my son has dyslexia and ADHD Inattentive, I was at a loss. I poured myself into researching about it to find out how to help my kid. While combing the internet for information, I stumbled upon a message board at Schwablearning.com. At first I just lurked. But it didn't take long for me to start posting and actively participating. From there I have developed a support group that made me a better advocate for my son.
The "Parent To Parent Message Board" at Schwab worked for me. If you're in a specific situation right now, especially a difficult one, I suggest you find a support group....it works!

i followed you over here from mel's blog (bosom buddies), and i just thought i'd tell you how i agree with you and how much supprt i got out of an email support group for the last year and a half or so!
souh africans in general are not big on talking and i couldnb't find a support group where i live and then i stumbled across the yahoo groups!
the adhd_boys yahoo group has been a huge help for me and i so with i'd found them years ago!
You are very smart to be enabled rather than allowing these differences to become a tool of the enemy. He wants us to cry in our cheerios and feel defeated, but the Lord only wants our good. Thanks for the tip.
