My cousin Danny’s wife who married into
my mother’s side of the family asked me a few months ago about my family medical history and mentioned that my 14 year old
cousin Noah has ADHD and gets moody at times. This greatly saddened me because
I have ADHD and am bipolar. I mentioned to her that I’m bipolar but didn’t go beyond this. On my mother’s side of the family,
there R mental health issues that go back generations to the severity of my grandpa Joe trying to commit suicide. My mom died from pancreatic cancer but I spoke to my uncle David about the medical request and he became very agitated 😠 and made me promise to tell her about my grandpa
Joe. I told him I wouldn’t tell Alysa anything about my grandpa. I told my cousin
Danny about CHADD and it’s emphasis on
ADHD. I hope listened to me. I love my cousin Noah but his parents must make the
final decision about his well being. I used to be the kind of person who always wanted to help out everyone. I can’t do this anymore. I need to protect myself as well.
Everyone stay safe. Sending out hugs S
