Moments of Permanence -

I hope that this treatment will be the help that you've been needing!

All of us in my family realize now that Bob had ADD that was never diagnosed. It explained so much of his self-destructive behavior. It's too bad that, at the time, ADD wasn't well-known, especially in adults. Maybe he'd still be with us today :-/

I'll be thinking of and praying for you.

Thank you.

It's really making me reconsider so much about my entire life - so much that I've always hated myself for is explained by the natural consequences of having ADD in a world that's not structured for it. And, too, the incredible frustration of things being difficult that seem like they should be easy - I can start to let go of that, because it's not a failing in me that they're hard for me to handle, I'm just wired differently.

I can feel for Bob, too. I'll light a candle for him. Living with this in a world where no-one's really heard of it would be so terribly difficult.
