Hi, I am flipping through here and just read your post. You are soooo normal. I have two children, one boy 12 and one girl 16. There are days I can remember screaming at my oldest and regret it deeply now. Things still get to me and I still react very much like you are. They do not have ADHD, but I, like some others let things get to me. Take the suggestion and read about parenting, because it follows you forever. The teenage years are really tough compaired to the younger years. ( I think) You will need those books to refer back on more than you know. Remember, you are parenting the only way you know how too right now. Nobody tells us how to be a good parent, and looking back I have much guilt about some of the things I have said and done with my children. Some things they don't remember because they are too young, but some they do and I don't want you to regret. Don't beat up on yourself. You are doing the best you can!
