WHOA WHOA WHOA........ I never said there aren't people helped by this or that there aren't people who actually HAVE disorders... MY thing is parents who put their kids on drugs that can be better helped with a little attention and some discipline. In almost EVERY case in my particular area of the world, EACH child could stand a little discipline...... they have no fucking disorders, they have what's called "MOM, I need some attention or I am going to do whatever it takes to get it"!!
I have NO issues with the ones this is given to that actually NEED it, in fact, I am all for it. What I have issues with are people who give it to their kids to help THEMSELVES, not their children. So believe it or not, I am on your side on this.... but I have very strong, passionate issues with parents who give it to their kids as a copout to their own parenting skills. THAT makes me fucking crazy like nothing else.
I have lived the majority of my life with some sort of anxiety or another..... from an extremely abusive childhood to being horrified to even sleep at night for fear someone was going to beat me half to death in my sleep at night. From the age of 7 until I was like 34, I didn't want to sleep because when I was 7 my own father beat me so bad in my sleep that the Drs said by all rights I should have been dead.... all because he was mad at my mom. So TRUST me, I know about disorders, I am all about that...... but when a parent wants to squelch his/her child's entire childhood because they don't want to take the time to TEACH them, THAT makes me completely crazy.
So please don't come at me saying I am over reacting, I am not at all over reacting...... MORE parents need to over-react if this is what you call this...... MORE parents should pay attention to their CHILD's needs and not so much their own!!!
