It was very hard at first. (Silly things like flipping on the light switch when you went to the bathroom)

Soon, we became much closer. "I'm going to go outside and boil some water, is there anything you need while I'm at it?"

Stuff like that. We made shadow puppets by the light of a candle one night. We slept on one bed, under a pile of blankets, like they did in Jesus time.

ADD may be a symptom of modern reality in my personal opinion.

Violet, perhaps, just perhaps, you might want to see if you can find a few days to get away from everything, except God, your family, and yourself. You may discover that the ADD is really just a symptom of your lifestyle.

And if not, a few days making shadow puppets, and bathing in a bowl never hurt anybody!
Thank you, CS,
I am getting away but it's not temporary.
If there is one thing I would say, it would be to anyone living with a person with ADD....
Please educate yourself.
You have no idea what a person goes through.
And please never judge them because they don't do things 'normal' like you think they should be done.
Find out WHY they behave the way they do, don't criticize them. Don't make them feel inferior or worthless then make fun of them and accuse them of being a victim.
I certainly don't feel sorry for myself; I am angry with myself.
