- My hubby and I are so tensed because of our son…we often argue…
- I have ADD, so does my husband…and son…this quantum is definitely hard
sometimes. - He just doesn’t understand and cooperate during meltdowns…
- Things are very tough for us and I deal with almost everything on my own…
- We went through such a rough patch while we were going through the
initial phase of our son’s diagnosis…in the beginning we didn’t even know
what was wrong. We blamed each other mostly, fought constantly. - Our marriage has definitely been tested with two kids with ADHD…I have
depression and anxiety…I try to do things to make life better – charts,
rewards systems, firm routines and bedtimes, calming words…but my
husband doesn’t follow along or help with it… - It could be my partner’s own undiagnosed ADHD….
- If I had parents or siblings to fall back on or the financial means to be on my
own, I can’t say I would still be married… - But we came out the other side tougher and more determined. We learned
how to take turns and work together…instead of trying to pin the bulk of
workload on the other. - Take time out for yourselves…this is VERY important…as a person and as a
couple. - We are not perfect individuals or parents, but we learned through tough
life lessons that as long as you work together for a greater good (in this
case, our child), you will always stay motivated to do better.
