Ever since we had the argument a week ago, I've been stewing over what I see as a major difference in opinion between H and I. I'll try to be brief. It's fair to say that H is obsessed with his phone. He uses it constantly. The first thing he does in the morning is check social media, before he makes coffee or eats breakfast, and he looks at it all through breakfast even though one or more of us are usually at the table with him.
I don't no where else to turn, I need advice from anyone who has taken adderall. My husband was normally social, talkative, caring before taking the medicine. Now on it I've noticed a downward spiral that worries me.
As the non- ADHD partner I have finally set boundaries that I will not continue this three year relationship unless he finally seeks out a therapist. We are not even married but I feel like some that have have been married 25 years already. The problem is- in central Missouri there seems to be lack of resources. We can find only one or two that specialize in ADHD and they are extremely expensive. I myself have started therapy via Talkspace but fear he will only lie and get bored with them as well if I'm not involved anyone have any luck in the Columbia, Missouri area?.
So tired of being on edge EVERY SINGLE NIGHT when he gets home from work! He has been pretty good lately and I thought last night would be the same. He walks through the door, calls me hunny bunny, gives me a kiss. I tell him that he must have made good time getting home since he's usually home about 15 minutes later. He tells me he left work an hour early to drop off a customer at their house because his bike wasn't ready and that's why he's home early. He didn't seem upset that he had to do that and was in a good mood.
Hi all,
At 58.5 years old I married for the first time. My spouse has ADHD and OCD. She has three children two boys and a girl. The girl is the middle child. I have depression and have experienced PTSD as a result of hearing my mother shoot herself. I'm trying to understand ADHD, my wife's values, the behavior of the kids and their lifestyles. But I must admit I'm frustrated.
I'm attracted to his intelligence and generosity but will it last?
My stepdaughter is turning 19 in just a few weeks. She lives with her mother about 4 hours away from us. She was in a high school/college program to be on track to graduate high school and also have an AA through a community college which should have happened actually last year, but she kept telling us the counselors didn't know what they were doing and she wasn't taking the right classes, which I highly doubt. We were then told she'd be graduating this summer, which didn't happen because she was still missing a couple of high school graduation requirements.
Hi All,
My husband and I will be separating soon, and I am working hard to detatch. I know I have posted tons here, but I am really REALLY struggling with this one.
