It’s like having a little kid

Im so done w/ this. After 20 years, im so...bitter, annoyed, angry, fed up. Im overwhelmed every day. On top of it my teen kid has add. Chores not done or half ass done. Cant figure anything out on the computer or even try. "Can you print this?" "Can you email so and so?" Im a secretary? Scanned, organized 3 years of bank statements to get taxes done because he cant figure it out. Find me a doc, i cant figure it out! Intensive lawsuit case evidence, fell on me. Extra money is blown on his shit or big vacations we shouldnt take. Acts like a bratty, pouting, tantrum child.

Boundaries for hypomanic episodes

Hey all, my husband has hypomanic episodes a few times a month.  He comes home after having a few drinks and then chats my ear off all night.  Not listening to me, interrupting, and saying things that he doesn't mean (I hope).  This is really stressful for me as in the past, these episodes usually result in arguments because of the way he is acting.  I have CPTSD and have been doing EMDR for almost a year.  This situation has been a really big trigger for me as he has abused alcohol in the past and the episodes were way worse.  I have been considering just going to my room for the evening a

ADHD Anger towards Non ADHD Spouse-Hope or Out? Gaslighting?

I am the non ADHD Spouse and am ready to literally pull my hair out. I have written so many posts on here that I am sure you can see my rollercoaster life. My ADHD husband and I are finally at the stand still of it all. He is diagnosed, and going through treatment. He has yet to see a counselor but they have now moved up  his dosage for meds twice. During our 3 years almost of marriage it has been hell. I am a Christian and really trying to do this God's way. We finally got into counseling and he admitted he hasnt forgiven me for the past, has a huge chip on his shoulder with me.

Long term difficult marriage

My husband was diagnosed with ADHD three years ago at the age of 66. We have been married for 45 difficult years. The diagnosis was a shock and a relief. At least it gave us some answers. He does well on Adderall, but, he will often forget to take it or choose not to take it due to something he may have read on the internet. He has cut himself off from his therapist for refusing to take anti anxiety meds, which he aslo desparately needs. Needless to say, he cannot do anything really.

Non ADHD spouse has quit before starting

In the summer of 2019 my now 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD.  After we had her start seeing a therapist and getting her symptoms under control, my wife of 19 years also started to see a separate therapist.  This therapist, without having met me, and through the descriptions my wife gave was convinced that I was a narcissistic emotional abuser. 

Not sure how long I can keep going

My husband and I have been together since 2010 and married since 2013. We have not gotten diagnosed but I think we both have ADHD. I have been he sole provider since about a year into us dating. He lived with his parents for several years as he did not have a job and I did nt make enough money at the time to support us both as I lived with my mom as well. We have been living together for 6ish years now and I have been the sole provider the whole time.
