W2G, Are you concerned D may have ADD or is upset by the separation or something like that? It seems clear that you are a caring parent despite all the turmoil in your life. Having 2 kids myself I think what Jeff says makes a lot of sense to me. We got these sort of complaints consistently about by current 7 year old from the time he was in kindergarten but I'm still not sure if its ADD or just his own way of developing - so I'm still on the fence with this and the professional opinions also vary a lot. My own response to it is mostly to be more patient with him. At any rate 2.5 years seems a bit too early to be very task oriented.
