Now that I have had a chance to think about things and recollect more, my mom suffered as much from her GTness and as from dealing with mine. I know I caused her challenges on a daily basis and it wore her down. Some of the things that she did that caused me pain were the result of dealing with me.

Keeping parents sane and fired up is as important as taking care of the kids.

This is another area of research that is sadly totally lacking.
