I have ADHD

Forum: Anger, Frustration & ADHD

I don't want to invalidate anyone's experiences but I'm hearing mostly horrible things about people with ADHD. I have a milder form but it's definitely gotten worse as I've aged. I got diagnosed last year after being married for 30 years. I have received nothing but grief and anger from my spouse all these years and couldn't understand why. And even without a diagnosis, I have been listening to  what he says he needs  and changing it if possible. I've spent 30 years confused at the anger. And 30 years of doing everything possible to become a better person. Medication, therapy, sheer will. It's so frustrating to hear all the complaints about these poor people who think differently and might need some compassion?  Abuse is abuse and no one should have to put up with that. That in cludes people with ADHD and non ADHD.  I feel that many of us ADHDers are being abused but can't express that because having ADHD is characterized as a bad and shameful thing to have, we surely must be in the wrong. It's strange hear talk of having ADHD and rage. I have no rage at all but my spouse sure does. I just have a deep sadness that I am not accepted because my brain works differently than most. 

Cassandra Syndrome?

Forum: Support for the ADHD Partner

At my last visit, my therapist said that he believes I am suffering from Cassandra Syndrome. I had never heard that term before, but when we discussed it and I later did some reading on it, I do believe he is right. I won't try to explain it here as I know I won't do it justice. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or been diagnosed with it? I am having a hard time finding any books specifically on it, only a few articles that all kind of say the same thing. I have not found any information other than "do self-care" as to how to work on it, which is frustrating. Would love to know if others have resources or advice.

Facing Change

ADHD & Marriage News - August 20, 2025

 

Quote of the Week

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

- James Baldwin

Facing Change

I am always happy when a person who suspects they might have ADHD, or a couple that is struggling together, decides to pursue getting the help they need to learn to thrive. It can be scary reaching out for help – yet the ONLY place you can go is ‘up.’  Here’s why: 

Knowing more about ADHD opens doors to better managing it if you have it.  If you don’t have it, then finding that out is useful information, too. The professional help you get is not a lifetime commitment. You may decide that your practitioner – or the direction you have chosen – is not working for you.  That’s still a win as it narrows the options for what will work.  You can always select a different direction, based upon what you are learning. If the status quo is not working for you currently there is little likelihood that it will somehow start working for you in the future.

As Baldwin suggests, nothing can be changed until it is faced.  If you are concerned about digging into ADHD - or your responses to ADHD - I urge you to try to open yourself up to taking action in the direction of your choice.  Face what needs to change and see what happens.

Justified

ADHD & Marriage News - August 13, 2025

 

Quote of the Week

“There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when ‘our’ side commits it.”

- George Orwell

Justified

Well, I might not agree completely with this statement as I think there are crimes that aren’t ever condonable.  But when one is talking about behavior in a relationship, then I think that this statement holds true.  Do we not tend to criticize our partner for being angry, curt or hurtful yet ‘understand it’ when we do similar things ourselves?

I certainly fell into this pattern.  For years it wasn’t okay for my husband to treat me poorly, but his inconsistent behaviors ‘justified’ my criticisms and anger in return.  This kept on until I realized that not only did I not like him very much, but I also didn’t like ME very much, either.  It was time to set my own standards – and stick to them!

Partners do best when they conscientiously contribute their ‘best selves’ to their relationship and I challenge all with whom I work to look at their own behavior with an objective eye.  Would they like to be with themselves if they were in the same room?

How about you?  Are you contributing your ‘best self?”  If not, look back.

Trying to improve, but hard

Forum: Anger, Frustration & ADHD

My wife and I have recognized that we are trying to survive each other. I've been trying to survive her ADHDness and slightly abusive behavior, while she's been trying to survive me trying to get some control (from her viewpoint. ADHD in mind it's a fair perception).

At one point she suggested that we write down what actions we're doing to show we love the other. And we should "give it" to the other person. This is to build awareness. I replied that "giving it" to another person sounded like "hey notice me", but the other part could be good journaling and awareness.

Then she said this, "If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do it. I’m going to make the list for me then"

My gut reaction was defensive and trying to explain myself to be clearer.

She did say she is just stating a fact and it wasn't intended to be passive aggressive.

I noticed that I had gotten defensive at the passive aggressive statement. Just to double check myself, I ran it in ChatGPT to see if it really does have a passive aggressive hint. ChatGPT said it does depending on the context, the context being a tense relationship then yeah.

We had previously discussed that I would bring these things up in the moment (her request), and we were talking about communicating more clearly.

So I (legit) just asked her to reword it. Just asked. It was with the intention to practice remedying our relationship.

Then she freaks out saying our relationship is doomed because she knows she can work better at passive aggressive comments and what she says also depends on my interpretation.

And now I'm despairing because we recognize our problems, and even a simple ask is too much.

We've gone to therapy, couple's therapist encouraged me to set boundaries and encouraged my wife to stop having a control complex.

Noticing

ADHD & Marriage News - August 7, 2025

 

Quote of the Week

“It is often forgotten that one of the most useful ways a parent can love a child is merely to notice who she is or what he does."

- Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D.

Noticing

Do you feel heard and seen in your relationship?  If not, I’ve got a simple, but very effective routine for you and your partner.  I call it my ‘See and Be Seen’ exercise and it goes like this:

Pick a time each day to spend 5-10 minutes asking and answering the three questions below.  Set an alarm as you get going so you can make it a routine and do it every day.

1. Tell your partner something you appreciate about who s/he is or what s/he did THAT DAY

2. Ask your partner ‘what’s the most interesting or significant emotion you experienced today?’  (Don’t judge or rebut…just listen to the response and get to know your partner’s experience better)

3. Tell your partner something you appreciate about him/her IN GENERAL

Reverse roles.

Simple, but effective.

Doing the Right Thing

ADHD & Marriage News - July 29, 2025

 

Quote of the Week

“(My husband) has a simple moral code.  He tells the truth and does the right thing.”

- My Aunt 

Doing the Right Thing

Relationship expert John Gottman's research suggests a simple equation – ‘transparency’ plus what he calls ‘positive moral certainty’.  

Transparency is about being honest (transparent) as well as following through on what you promise.  

Positive moral certainty is knowing that your partner is ethical and will treat you with respect and kindness.

In my couples’ seminar I talk about rebuilding trust in your relationship, as well as the way that this trust equation must be modified to accommodate ADHD.  Because it is impossible that a person with ADHD who sometimes doesn’t follow through on promises due to the presence of ADHD symptoms is inherently and always untrustworthy!  Yet, the inconsistency that ADHD symptoms adds must be accommodated in some way that is reassuring to both parties for trust to remain intact (or be rebuilt).

The ‘secret sauce’ is to add the ideas of owning ADHD symptoms and symptomatic behaviors, and being transparent about issues as they come up.  That might mean: 

putting a backup system in place to call a partner if you’re running late. Owning that you didn’t complete a project and taking responsibility for creating (and executing) a plan to get it done now. Taking responsibility to learn the skills…or admitting that the project must be done a different way – perhaps hiring it out, or exchanging tasks with a partner.

Doing the ‘right thing,’ as my Aunt would say, means taking responsibility…even if one is not always consistent…and making sure you are always honest as you do so.

The end goal

Forum: Progress You are Making and Hope

I’ve been deep in sorrow briefly over the lost relationship. 

It happens when things have been intense at work and socially, leaving little breathing space. I crash at home one night and grief immerses me. There are terrible dreams, and it’s almost too much to bear.

This morning I see an end goal. When thinking of my ex in future, I want to picture him as I did this morning, floating above a flower bed. Kind, supportive, attentive to the children and me. I need to see that image and simply regret he couldn’t do better at some things. Then not feel an urge to reconnect, but leave it at that.

Those two thoughts, the benevolent image of him and the regret, are peaceful. I hope some day when this is harrowed through, I can rely on them.

The peaceful thoughts make me who I want to be.

For those of you who’ve divorced still loving your ADHD ex, and then processed the loss thoroughly, what are your thoughts of them now?

The loneliness

Forum: Anger, Frustration & ADHD

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here that has some ways to cope/deal when the loneliness really hits in. This is no way to live, I know this but today was just really tough. 5 min of conversation was all I got. The entire day. And he decided that because he was tired and worked a full day (I too have a full time job and can't understand why I feel like I don't deserve rest too) that he went to bed at 6.30 and im left on my own for another day in a row. 

It's just too much and I know it's not right, but have no idea how to change it. I'm furious and heart broken all at once. Even my 11 year old asked me why I look so sad. I cant even cover it up anymore. And then the guilt sets in about that. 

I know its not sustainable for long term, my health is shocking but ironically I do a lot to take care of myself snd counter the high levels of stress that my body goes through each day. But I know it's a bandaid. 

Tonight I committed to sleeping without the phone in the room and tomorrow im going to get some exercise and walk with a friend. But if anyone can share their experiences of being lonely and a married single parent, and perhaps a coping strategy or 2 while I let my emotions calm down.  

Connection

ADHD & Marriage News - July 24, 2025

 

Quote of the Week

“Deep connection is not based on shared preferences of what you like and enjoy. Rather, it’s based on shared values. Common interests often attract people, but common values sustain relationship."

     - Steven Stosny

Connection

‘Finding common ground’ is a tried and true strategy to start negotiating your differences.  Identifying the common ground of your shared values and aligning your relationship with those values is THE strategy for nurturing a relationship.

Sometimes, when working with individuals or couples to help them get back to feeling more like themselves I ask this question, ‘Who were you when you liked yourself the most?’  This question tends to point to a time when you/they were living in a way most closely aligned with their values.

Who were you when you liked yourself the most? What were your qualities? How did you behave? When comparing that to today, what can you learn?   HIGHLIGHT:
