Are you Divorced too? | ADHD Information

twice 8(

I was wondering how many ADHD or ADD people out there are divorced like me.  I know that on one questionaire I took to see if I had ADD, that was one of the indicators:  Has been divorced one or more times.

I think that my ADD affected my relationship and that it suffered because of it. 

I discovered I had ADD after my divorce.  I'm married to a wonderful guy now.  I relate to him.  I think he probably has ADD too!

Just curious.

Thanks!

im divorced....id say my adhd (im still un dx) was a major factor in my marriage breakdown.my son is dx adhd and the strain of caring for him took its toll too.im very lucky to have found a very special man who has taken me and my three kids by my ex into his heart and helped me to learn to cope with my problems. Divorced here too. Strange thing though is that it was my wife that helped me realize I had ADD..........then she divorced me because of it. Go figure. I was divorced once before i found out I was add.

My ex-wife's chief complaint was that she never had my attention and I was always figeting.

Found out after the divorce and 6 years into my present marriage that I have ADD.  My wife has been wonderful and supportive throught the whole adventure.

I'm so severe ADHD that I never got to the point where marriage was possible.  The longest pre med I could go as a normal adult was about 3 months.  After that the fraud was seen by my gf and she would bust out and run.

I had one long term relationship (on/off on/off on/off) that finally I had to end as it was cruel to keep changing temporarily then asking her back only to get the 3 month sweats.

I guess some ADHD'ers seem to get their relationships to work but I never could.  I think now that I'm on meds and getting councilling I might be able to but it scares the crap out of me as I don't want to put me or another human through the yo-yo again.

I have been engaged three times in the past 15 years....I married the first one (for 6 months, his choice to split...didn't know that he really wanted to be married), left the second one after 8 years (got tired of him saying we'd get married on February 30, 2000) and split from the third one upon finding a load of pornography on his computer and being woken up too many times during the night by his druggie friends looking for a fix.  I don't know if I had ADD, AD/HD growing up and was drawn to men that also had it, or if I had it and repelled men that didn't have it.....I think the first statement is true......

But anyhow, I have three engagement rings and three nieces.....guess what they all get when I leave this earth????   Can you say diamonds????
