    Default Any parenting children with mental illness out there?

    DD 8 has been diagnosed as severe ADHD, moderate anxiety, LD, and is on medication for bipolar disorder. As a single mom this sometimes seems like a lonely up hill battle.
    I am also looking for others who also have mental illness while trying to raise a child with a mental illness. I had to hospitalize DD in October because nothing I could do could make the voices she hears stop. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do was walk out that door once she settled a bit.
