ADD Moment

Had a horrible ADD moment yesturday.  Got into a yelling match with my 14 yo daughter last night.  It was late and Ritalin long long from my system.  I let my insecurities show and said that I shes loves her mothers new boyfriend more than me.  OUCH!!   I know she loves me.  I'm so insecure that I feel threatened by him.

OK.  I'll say it.  I'm jealous.  He has alot more money than me and can give her alot of the things that I wish I could.   Some of the MANY plans I had were blown to pieces when my wife left.  All the things I wanted to do when I finally got the money.  Now my wife is able to do them and include the children, so I won't be able to.

I'll never live this one down.  I may have completely pushed her away.

Hi Shcwep,

Your daughter is hopefully familiar with add symptoms by now.  If not I would explain to her the best I can that sometimes  when you try to say something, sometimes the words do not come out with what you really mean to say (an example is what I just said) I hope it makes sense to you.  I know what is attempting to be said does not sound the same when it comes out.  I am sure she knows you didn't mean it, but still let her know.

Talk to your children it helps
