Dealing with Denial: Accept Your Responsibilities

Talk about a relationship complication! And, so much of the literature comes from the perspective that the partner with AD/HD is the male.

It's tough to deal with all the baggage that may result: The ADHD partner may resent being identified as the "problem" or "patient"; feel guilty over having contributed to unhappiness in the partnership; be confused that despite all their good intentions and efforts there are still difficulties, shame relating back to the old refrain that "everything would be ok if they just tried harder"; and eventually hopelessness believing things in the partnership have always been this way and probably won't ever get better.

Having the tips is a nice resource, thanks.

Hi

I have not been in denial for some time Becky.

I am 54 years old and have been seeing  Therapist for some 35 years now.

I am making less money these days. I am trying to save the monthly visit because it costs me $100.00 a visit sit so please respect My privacy.

Respectfully Yours

Joe
