You are telling me to just ignore the roller coaster ride and find an hour for scrap booking? Buy pizza? My husband's ADD is tearing many relationships a part and is putting our life through hell. His denial is hurting so many people, and I'm supposed to find a hobby to make life better?
This is only one part of a series on when a spouse denies or doesn't accept treatment for ADHD.
You can view the rest of the series:
When A Spouse Denies ADHD - Accept Yourself, Accept Your Spouse, Accept Your Relationship
Dealing with Denial: Accept Your Responsibilities
Spouse Denial - Taking Care of You
Spouse in Denial - Decide Where You Want to Go From Here
Spouse Denial - Understanding Adult ADHD
Spouse Denial - Setting Goals to Improve Your Relationship
Spouse Denial - Talking Together
I hope this helps
Eileen

There isn't a whole lot of information out there from the non-ADD spouse's perspective, so I'm appreciating reading your posts on this topic. In my family, *I* have the ADHD (as does one kiddo) and I often forget what impact this has on my husband.
It might be a good idea for those of us who have ADHD to remember how it affects our partners and children. I know that from raising a child with severe ADHD, that I need time away to catch my breath. I think I need to encourage my spouse to get away more, too. Good points!
Again, great series, Eileen.
