Warning:
BM>Stephen Kirkpatrick (On 10 Feb 97) was overheard expounding to Mark Pro
 SK> Mark, you seem to lay claim to being the all-knowing expert on
 SK> ADD/ADHD. Why don't you take the reins? Then again, IMNSHO, losing
 SK> this echo is probably better than having you as our all-knowing
 SK> moderator.
BM>I don't recall EVER seeing your name in this echo before, I certainly
BM> don't have it in the msg base, and what I have archived goes back to
BM> January of 96 .. yes that's 1996
then, like me any many others, you had darn well better get your eyes
checked and/or glasses replaced.........
BM>Do you have a kid with, or do you have ADD/ADHD??  
not that it's any of your damn business, but yes....I have a wife who 
has ADD amongst *many* other things (much of which she had, in a very 
calculating way, withheld from me prior to the wedding) along with a 
stepson (from her former marriage) who has ADHD. His violence, connected 
only in part to the ADHD, has landed him in the custody of the state. I 
only thank God that I don't live with this woman any longer because I'd 
be as good as dead had I stayed. She had no reservations about knocking 
over my monitor one night because I didn't answer her quickly enough. I 
should have cut my losses right then and there. I happen to be far too 
patient though, especially for citizens with disabilities. Because of it, 
I had the "pleasure" of experiencing her coming at me with a knife (a 
couple months after the wedding) because I didn't agree with her views 
on certain issues. "Agree to disagree" is not in her vocabulary. She had
no reservations about holding a gun on me and five deputy sheriffs a month 
later. Were it not for the work I did trying to get the DA's office to drop 
the charges, she may well have been behind bars today. Yeah, Bob, she's a 
real sweetheart.  
Bob, do you think this is pretty much indicative of what I and many others 
will have to contend with when dealing with citizens with ADD/ADHD? 
 
BM>You haven't a shred of credibility!
considering I've been following this conference for close to two
years and have indeed posted messages on occasion, I'll have to consider
the source of the comment above when trying to determine its value,
*if* any. Bob, I can't say that you seemed to be the type of person who was 
going to end up in my twit files. Heaven only knows I've been wrong before 
though.......and close to dead wrong at that.
Any responses through this conference for me will *not* be answered. I'll be 
too busy licking wounds to really have the time, or inclination, to answer 
any. 
Feel free to email me at srknawlins@Juno.com where there's a good chance that
I will follow up on your letter(s).
