I have a 14-year-old step-son. His father and I have been married for 2 and one-half years. He lives with his mother(who is my good friend) full-time. We have him almost evry weekend and half of the summer. He has been diagnosed as having ADHD, and I certainly agree with that. However, he does not like the zombie mode (as he calls it) the medication puts him in. As a young adult, I understand his decision to not medicate and try to work around his disorder. The biggest problem is that he does not show me respect. His father lets it go because of his ADHD and says it's best to ignore it. I have no choice but to listen, as I am just a substitute parent. However, the love that I have for him is lately being out-weighed by the frustration that's been quietly building. How do I love him again? Smeone please tell me how! :?
