I am a single mom to 12 y/o twin boys. I have shared custody with their dad. They were recently diagnosed with ADHD abd one of the twins has emotional dysregulation. This past year everything was glass half empty, but at home he was still a sweet, kind boy. Not sure why, but things changed after Memorial Day. He no longer wanted to swim (something he was super excited for) and he was angry. He would get loud and smacked my arm – something he hasn't done before. I know this related to his emotional dysregulation so I find a way, but today I had to push back on the negativity. I talked to him about how special he is, how smart he his, and that he had a purpose. That he is a Child of God and I wish he could see himself as I see him or, better yet, as God sees him. He was emotional, but at the end he said he wished that I "would shut up." Begore dropping him off at his dad's house I told him that I loved him but will not be disrespected.

He hugged me and I know he is going through something but I don't know what. The therapist we met with said emotional dysregulation may relate with depression.

Please pray for my son. Pray that he sees the beauty in God's world, that he can find a path through the anger that has engulfed him lately, that he leans on Abba to work through this time.

Please pray that Abba sends the right therapists that will help him work through his emotions and that we are able to identify the services they need.

Please pray for peace and my strength for me. I am working through it as best as I need prayer.

With love! Thank you ❤️
