Hi CDJ,

I am so sorry that you find yourself in an un-supportive situation. You are correct that if your folks can learn more and understand more about ADD, I think they will respond favorably. Remember,it is no one fault that you have ADD. f they heard it was often (always) hereditary, they may feel you are pointing a finger.

The CD, ADD and Loving it is great. I recently ordered it and while my husband knows I have ADD, I have told him that I really want him to watch it as a refresher. I am also planning on sharing it with my Brother ( also ADD) and my sister.

Try ans find a calm time to approach them. Think about the 3 things you most want to share with them. Ask them to just listen. Then offer to help them get information to understand ADD and you more.

Hang in there. We are here for you!
