Yes, I had thought about this -- which is exactly why I posted the question to this forum. Thanks for your willingness to be frank.

It doesn't hurt to know that I need to step back into the background now -- mostly it's disappointing that my niece will likely suffer painful lessons that could have been helped fairly easily.

To be honest, my own ADD makes it so hard to keep my big mouth shut! Maybe my meds should be accompanied by a month-long trial of duct tape!

Thanks for your honesty.
