Re: A quick question…

[ipsofacto]

This is a very sad part of my diagnosis, realizing that so many members of my family are (or were) ADD. Looking back at the struggles various uncles and aunts went through (and especially my father), I now see them in a whole different light. Most interesting though, is that many of them married people who also had ADD traits.

I know I will have to make some calls to cousins (who I haven’t seen since childhood), and at some point in the conversation will slip in the ADD thing. Hopefully it may help them understand their parents better, and maybe themselves.

There is an aunt, who’s son died several years ago. His whole life had been marred by addictions and failures Perhaps it will help her to know there was a medical reason for the way his life turned out and that he was in fact a fighter, showing great determination in spite of his undiagnosed disorder.
