Hi Dinah,
I think it is probably temporary, my daughter had some memory issues for a few months after she had a simular heart surgury. But if it isn't, I am still willing to work with him. I don't take it personally that he forgets, and for me that is big. He works with my issues and I work with his. Maybe it is about acceptance, maybe I am growing?
It only mildly bothered me when he has forgotten, but I realized he didn't intentionally do that, when he is with me in session, he is with me, he is there in the moment.
So maybe I will have to adjust somewhat like you. Maybe a sentence or two of background when I bring up the old stuff. He also has ADD too, but I haven't noticed at all. But when it comes down to it his bad is way better than the last T's bad, and his good is very good, so that is good enough for me. So I am going to go with the flow and hope I can still accomplish stuff in therapy.
