Having just gone through a divorce where my Ex took no excuses for anything and forgiveness was never given or appreciated. When dx with ADD/ADHD she took it as I was fixed and I should just do things right all the time now, in her words "be normal". I greatly appreciate you sharing this article. Whether we have ADD/ADHD or not forgiveness is what allows us to move to a better relationship, not only with those around you but ourselves as well. I wish everyone got this concept of forgiveness. No one is perfect, we will all make mistakes, it is how we respond to those mistakes is what will define our future.
