of course, part of the team]
of course my son had it [add] according to this clinic. well my son never
took the pills when he was with me, he was only normal with me? can a kid with
add sit for 5 hours painting a pictue? this was a picture of an eagle flying
down with food for its young, an oil painting to boot. is this the way we get
our children to behave? drug them? after two years of taking ritilin my ex
husband finaly agreed to take him off it. however the school wasnt very happy,
they called us in a few times for a converence and as soon as we knew what the
deal was we got up and left.(it was great) i had to get a lot of evidence to
show my sons dad, it wasnt easy, but it was worth it. how many other children
did they pay to go to this clinic? they spend school money! parents listen
because the school cant be wrong,they pay, lets drug our kid! anyway i needed
that off my chest. my son is 19 and doing well. your work has given me great
comfort, thank you

Dear Sally, I needed that too. Sometimes its like swimming upstream,
but myself and others, who help me, like my good and valued
friends John Breeding, and Nestor Sosa keep fighting
psychiatrywhich has sold out to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as our
government--at every level up to it's knees in the receipts of
drug money--that from the drugs 'pushed' and forced on our
children inside of the schools by teachers too busy to teach
and 'parent' and control their classes any other way. I am
proud I was of help to you, your son and family. FB]
