Depression Understood Forums

My charity event was a motorcycle ride to benefit TN Marine Fam...

Thanks! This is a pretty good week especially since my big charity event is over. Since my oldest has OCD/ADD I tend to get very frustrated very quickly. My youngest also has some behavioral issues and my daughter - well, she's like every other almost 7 yr old girl, very whiny and particular LOL My ...
