i want to tell my now ex-bf about this website. i dont know why i still care about him and want his life to be better, but i guess i just suck like that even though he hurts me like crazy.

is this a good idea or not? i was thinking it might help him to connect with other ADDers.

what do u guys think? should i? should i not? will reading other ppl's stories help him?

though.....mabe he cant even focus attention on this website so i dont know what good it would be. sigh.

but yeah........advice plz.

You may have heard the expression... "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". I think its a nice thing to do, but don't expect anything to come if it.

I would certainly do it. If he doesn't want to be here, that's fine for him, but if you never tell him about it, you GUARANTEE that he won't ever get anything out of the site, right?

I'd send him the name of a good book instead.

You mean I'm Not Lazy Stupid or Crazy?!

There may be "reprecusions" if he feels "misrepresented."

I'd say what he finds on his own is enough, because I assess your chances as greater than his at making appropriate self-healing moves right now.

As the Chinese say, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

I think the teacher is always there, in fact. The teacher just isn't recognized until the student is willing to learn.
