I am new to this site (just found it maybe a week ago) and brand new to forum posting. I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope I got it right. I was going to tack my story on as a comment to another discussion, but again, wasn't sure where it best fit. But, I wanted to share. My husband and I have been married for eight years very hard, but overall good years. He and I BOTH are ADD!

I have ADHD.

I guess I've held it in for so long and so much has happened to us in the past couple yrs, I have diarrhea of the typing fingers.  Suggestions before I post a novel?  I'm the non-ADD spouse in a 6 yr relationship w/ a 14 mos old daughter...desparate to rescue our marriage and save our family.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been feeling the stress welling up inside of me.  Almost to the point that I am ready to call our relationship and our business quits.  We have been together for over 10 years (married for 5 years).  Both of our children are in college.  My H is undiagnosed ADHD and is also in denial that he even has ADHD.  I have not disclosed to ANYONE that he is ADHD.  It is like the "dirty little secret" that I keep all to myself.  We are trying to run a business together, but it is the most difficult challenge I have ever faced.  He makes business decisions without

I'm turning a corner. This is a great site. For a while, it feels great to VENT, to get it out of your system all the things that are boiling inside and you don't say to family or friends.  It is great to have this place where you can be heard and understood. It is a great place to compare notes to weigh in to see if you are crazy or off base.  It is a great place to learn about the descriptions of relationships going through similar things and get some answers about WHY things are so challenging and what can be done.
