A little background, my ex wife is 27 with 3 kids from 3 different dads, I was lucky number 2 before she had an affair. She has been divorced again since me. My son who is 5 splits time evenly with me and her. He is attending school near her until our court date on April 1st, when the court will decide on the primary parent because we never established one after our divorce.
So I just got back to my office from my son's Dr. appointment, and hes been prescribed Ritalin. I'm not happy about it, but he definitely eased my thoughts a bit. My son does great with me but has been having trouble in school, not wanting to sit still and disturbing other students.
I think the problems are coming from his mother. She has a house by his school, but is dating a guy that live almost 2 hours from there, and I recently found out that she is staying with him on some school nights. So my son never knows where he is going to be staying. Also, her boyfriend has 2 kids and just the small amount of time I have seen them I know that they are out of control.
I'm trying to bite my tongue until court because I honestly think I have a good shot at winning. I guess other than just ranting and getting stuff off my chest, I was wondering if anyone else on here has dealt with a kid like mine that has been put on Ritalin. I'm not a fan of drugs that mess with the brain, but I do want what is best for my son.
