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
