If you’ve answered “yes” to at least two of these questions, then SHAME is a dominant factor in your life.

Unfortunately, that therapist ended up knowing little about ADHD, and Elaine gave up on finding another one on her insurance plan. Then again, Elaine's problematic ADHD symptoms presented fertile ground for a bumper crop of unhealthy behaviors on both their parts. Finally, Brian realized it wasn’t a question of Elaine learning to be a "more responsible adult" or him being a "dominating male" if he stepped in to help.

It isn’t that I don’t love writing about my experience with ADHD — I do. It’s therapeautic and I love talking to all of you and hearing your stories and suggestions. I have been MIA and have not written, quite frankly, because of all of the wonderful things added to my schedule and my ADHD.
