Re: 'God' is punishing you

For Dann_e: Actually, as mentioned above your comment, my mother has been supportive of my ADD diagnosis. Although she wasn’t supportive of my ordeal with depression a few years ago, I’ve let go of any resentment I had towards her, because I understand (though not agree) her viewpoints. And, I know that above all, she really wants the best for me. Also, as mentioned, I’m working on sharing information with her about ADD…At the same time, though, I’m still learning about it myself. So one thing at a time.

Now, your comment “Be happy it’s you and not your (say) sister that got ADD. You have so much to gain from it.” is really astounding. Although it feels like a curse sometimes, I don’t believe I should be happy that I got ADHD instead of anyone else. Perhaps you view it as a blessing; I view it as a challenge. Anyone who has a challenge finds a way to rise to it….ADHD being one of them. And funny side note, I won’t be surprised if my sister is diagnosed with ADD sometime.

I do want to mention that my original post was not meant as an attack on any religion, or any religious members. It was simply a response to the forum topic ‘Most Ignorant Thing You’ve Heard.’ And, I don’t mean it to say that all religious people are ignorant.
