How do you move toward the future when so many mistakes in the past have been made?

I'm sorry for the length of this post, but I have 25 yrs of marriage to cover. I have ADHD, diagnosed for ten yrs and take meds that help tremendously. My wife and I recently came to the end of our marriage and have now decided to reconcile instead of getting a divorce. We love each other very much and its the only thing holding us together. For several years, I made the typical ADHD mistakes of moving us around for something better and it took a toll. We moved 14 times in 11 years. I have always worked hard (not smart) to provide a nice lifestyle for my family.

Anger, Frustration & ADHD

We took our trash out to the curb yesterday afternoon and upon doing that, my husband took a look in his car, which was sitting on the street, and noticed that his driver's seat was leaned way back further than he had left it. He opened his car door, which was unlocked, and saw that his glove box and center console were completely emptied of their contents. He said he wasn't sure what all was gone, but for sure the car registration and paperwork, his extra car key and his only set of keys to his trailer.

Women with ADHD

I'm new to this forum.

I am 25, I work full time, take classes online, and I'm a single mom to a three year old.

Some how, I manage to stay afloat. Barely. Meds help, and having some sort of a system help me as well.

The part that I have the most trouble containing emotions and impulsivness is dating. I am dating someone who lives about an hour away, we only see each other every other weekend when we both don't have our children.

Desperate Non-ADHD Newcomer :(

Hi everyone,

I am new to the subject of ADHD and marriage, and new to the idea that my husband has ADHD, but the more I read the more sense it makes. I hope to find comradery and hope from those of you out there who have been/are in these shoes. It is a terrible feeling to feel alone in the battle, and to question if the problem is you, your husband, or both. We have been together for over 7 years, but we have been married for just over 6 months. 

Guess what H did yesterday?? Absolutely nothing!

Arrgh! It makes me so ANGRY! He said he was going to take the cat to the vet and call and electrician. He didn't even step outside to get the mail! I come home to the kitchen garbage overflowing, the kitchen recycle bucket overflowing, dirty dishes sitting on the counter rather than the dishwasher, the cats wanting to be fed all while he's in the computer room playing his damn video game that he has no doubt been playing nonstop all day! Oh and I just love the one thing he always does. He'll turn on the furnace and then within 10 minutes open up windows so the cats can smell the outside!

Couples Counselor and Coach - Should they be two different people?

I am very fortunate to live in a city where there are two ADHD-focused counselors who do both ADHD coaching and couples therapy around ADHD. I know that for traditional therapy, your personal therapist should be separate from your marriage counselor. Do you think that goes for ADHD coaches too, or is coaching different enough from traditional therapy that it doesn't matter? I already have a mental health therapist that will remain separate from the coaching piece, so I don't anticipate my coach becoming my mental health therapist.
