Last night I finally told my wife that I was going to seek help. She mentioned that I go to our family doctor and get evaluated. I told her that I didn't want to go to our family doctor for 2 reasons. The first one is because I don't want him to know. I don't know why but I just don't feel comfortable having my childrens doctor knowing much about me. I know its strange but thats me. Also My step son has ADD and when we took him in for evaluation it was pretty much like this. We took him in and said we think he has ADD. His response was ok here is some starterra. I have been going through this for 10 plus years and need a little more of an answer than that.

hey weathered WELL DONE for taking the first - and most important - step. i'm sure that now your wife has more understanding, she will be more able to support you, and your son.

i can understand your feelings about the doc too, i agree with the suggestion to try to get straight to a pdoc

good luck with everything, remember - the hardest part is done, it will get easier from here on in my secret is out. xxx
