Today is No Better

Yesterday was the first day of school for my children.My daughter is 14 and excited about being a Freshman.My son is 17 and a Junior.I don't hink he is excited about school at all.They have a new building which now seperates the high school from junior high.Meaghan is taking advance diploma and we are just trying to get Ryan to pass.He is your typical underacheiver.
I am not a single-parent but my husband is away at work so often I feel like one alot of the time.I do not even want to think about being a single parent.I salute all of those who are.
My nephew has just started playing football at 9 for the first time.He seems to enjoy it but there are other issues that need to be addressed.For one he has never been properly "socialized".He does not have friends who spend the night or he spends the night with.He acts out in public to the point where you don't want the stress of taking him out in public which is what his mother has always done.She kept him at home when he was little.No day care,no outside contact with others with the exception of church on Sundays.He has ADHD and is on a new med that doesn't work.His dad has been deployed to Iraq and his mother blames the way he acts on that but like I told her he acted that way before his dad was deployed.Pray for him,he needs it.
