    The end of a close family relationship

    Thank you so much for the replies and advice and scriptures. As I read, I realized that I do feel anger and bitterness towards A, and it's such a terrible feeling. For now, I think it's best to just stay away and let both our emotions calm down. And I will pray for A. I don't want to, but I know...

    Concerta

    My son has been on Concerta 18-hour XR (lowest dose for his weight) for almost 4 years. It has helped enormously in helping to control his impulsive behavior and ability to focus.

    What do you struggle with?

    Trust. I struggle with trust. I am afraid to let my guard down because so often people have betrayed me. I know I can trust God, but I'm human and feel a need to have other people in my life. It's really hard to let the walls down because I'm afraid of getting hurt again.
