ADHD and spouse

sanctuary43

Forgive me for registering a new username just for this thread, but my husband knows my my normal username.

Please could anyone help or advice of any websites or forums, or anyone I could chat to that are wives/husbands of ADHD sufferers please?

I am in desperate need to talk to someone.

Have rung the Samaritans earlier, which helped but I could do with talking with people who live with ADHD partners.

Thank you for your time for reading this.

I have an ADHD son (11 yrs) and I find Myaddventure . co. uk and addiss (the UK) charity very useful

Hi,

My partner has ADHD,

I sometime feel like I need to talk to someone too but have never even thought about advice sites. So thanks for starting this thread

sanctuary43

Thanks confusedheart.

It's a lonely place sometimes, my hubby's behaviour and the way he treats me at the moment is unacceptable, its got worse. And I am doing my best to try to understand him and learn not to react sometimes, but at the moment I don't even feel like he loves me.

Do you feel like you could scream sometimes?

Just a thought, does your OH have medication? If so, it may need reassessing, as I tend to notice my sons behaviour changing when an adjustment to meds is required

sanctuary43

No, he has never taken medication, he doesn't believe in it, and says ADHD is just a word. It's partly why I am feeling so frustrated at the moment, there is no recognition of any thing wrong from him.
