I sent you an e-mail. I, like you, am new to posting on message boards. I hope you got my e-mail. You have helped me in many ways. Thanks for bringing your story to the SO house. I wrote a post awhile back about my brother having ADD (never diagnosed, back then they did not diagnose ADD). Doctor's use to say he was just hyperactive. I see many similarities in my brother as what you shared in the SO house. Your story really help heal that relationship for me. Thanks so much for educating me on ADD and the effects it has on the person who has it. I finally get it, because of you, I have a better relationship with my brother today. Instead of getting frustrated with him when he blurts out silly stuff, I tell myself if he knew better he can do better. Instead of judgement, I have compassion. Thank you, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
You keep on growing girl! You are my favorite houseguest this season. Not only because you helped me with my brother, but because you were there for a purpose...TO GROW AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Not for any other alterior motives as we see in so many of the SO graduates this season. YOU ROCK!!
I hope we can stay in touch. I would appreciate any other input you can give me in being the best sister I can be..All the best to you and Rick!!
