Hmmmmm...just read a little about ADD. It can be hereditary, my mom runs wide open all the time. She talks really fast and doesn't even sit down to eat. Sometimes it's hard to have a conversation with her because her thoughts are all over the place. Sometimes I have to slow her down.
So if she had ADD, then I was born with it, then the trauma around 5-6 starting, my history in school....it's making sense now.
