[QUOTE=DeanAllen]Hi Auntie, Doctor has me on Straterra.. 25mgs anything more and it shuts me down. zombie[/QUOTE]
I suppose you know why I ask. Some ADHD people do not think they have a problem and do nothing to help themselves. That is all fine and good if you are single without children. I'm sorry for couples having problems and it most definately takes two to make a marriage work. It is not a one sided thing, ADHD or not. Thanks for answering my question.
Sometimes this is what it takes not everyone is mature enough for married life either. It takes sacrifies for this and a family. Not all realize this. My parents are divorced and I never saw how they were together at all. My dad saw things very one sided. My mother just kept us full of family memories. We now love the childhood we had. To me Moms most of the time are what make those happen. If a Parent chooses not to be a big part of things Their loss. Hi CC - glad to see you back. I'm sorry you had to go through a divorce and hope you are making it ok. It's his loss!!I have come to same point in my marriage, where my wife also says that I am a child in a man's body. I act and live younger than my son whom has ADHD (10yr).
Counseling does not help, she will not work with. She is not the problem in our marriage, I am. She runs and carries the load of our relationship.
any Advice on how to protect my self from defeating thoughts? this is my second marriage, which my current wife says I have mentally messed up both her and ex-wife.
sorry would love to say more, but fear wife may run across this posting
DeanAllen38603.542962963Are you taking meds DeanAllen?Welcome back CreativeCrazy! I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. I know this probably doesn't help, but it's his loss, not yours. If he can't appreciate your uniqueness and "spirited enthusiasm" (my nice word for "childishness"), then who needs him. Take this time to get to know yourself all over again, and do things for you. It's cliche, but it works.
