Cruising for some common sensitivity

So Tom Cruise has been dropped from Paramount due to his off the wall behavior in his personal life. No suprises there then.
I lost all respect for Tom Cruise the day he appeared on Parkinson chat show a couple of years ago, and criticised parents who medicate their kids for behavior problems. He more recently had a go at poor Brooke Shields for taking medication to treat her post natal depression.
Firstly what does he know, does he live with ADHD. Well I suppose that point is open for discussion colleagues believe he displays many signs, although I think its plain ignorance. Its so easy to be critical, much easier to pass the buck. Those of us who make the decision to medicate, don't do this lightly, I know I didn't and still beat myself up about it. Yet the evidence is there before us. This morning I waved off a group of our teenagers on their way to Drayton Manor Park, for a residential trip. Without medication many of those teenagers with ADHD would be unable to cope with the whole process. It accesses a world to them that otherwise is alien. I truly believe my own son would have seriously damaged himself in the early days with his pure impulsiveness. We as parents don't do this for an easy life. we do it to give our kids a chance to be the way society expect them to be.
Of course Tom Cruise is influenced by Scientology. My only encounter with a Scientologist once was enough. His beliefs left no space to hear our point of view. He openly told me that medicating our children was wrong and that we needed to change our parenting. I invitied him to a coffee morning and suggested that we leave medication off for him so he could see the children at their most energetic. He never showed up!.
