LMo -

Oh, that's interesting about the ADD.

My husband never wanted to go to college. It is ironic, I lived in a family, with a father who didn't believe girls should go to college, and hubby grew up with parents who were both Ivy League graduates. I was begging to go to college. Hubby on the other hand was resisting his overpowering father trying to shove college down his throat. He went for a year. Actually, I did too, b/c my mother wanted me to go, but I wanted my father to want me to go, so I stopped after a year and went to work.

My husband has MANY wonderful qualities and skills also. It is painful, tiring and difficult to watch someone you love struggle. That's why you need to pat yourself on your back, or have an ice cream soda, for keeping your hands to yourself. Something, which I don't need to point out, I was unable to do!!! Well, I shouldn't be too hard on myself. You have a GREAT therapist, and I live in rural America, where fire hydrants and good therapists are both hard to find.

I saw Loretta Lynn's biography recently. I loved the part where she said, "Problems with Doo (her nickname for her husband) were always better than no problems without Doo."

It would seem that you and I agree with Loretta.

Hugs and love,
