Do You Embrace Your Feelings (Our ADHD Journey Segment 4)

The recent diagnosis of ADD (ADHD inattentive) for our son has resulted in a major framework shift or me. Learning that he has a lifelong disability that will make life more difficult than it already is causes waves of sadness to come over me. I realize that in order to move on from these feelings, I need to face them and embrace them and then let them go.

Don't be too sad. . . I have had inattentive ADHD all my life and didn't know it until recently. I'm 40 years old. Now I find that both of my kids have it too. I feel bad that they have to deal with this. Will they ever reach their true potential? Will they be able to accomplish all they could otherwise? I don't know. At least they are diagnosed and are getting help that I never had. . .
