Does anyone have a therapist they would recommend who can work with a non-ADHD spouse on emotional distress after infidelity? The relationship is healed, but I am looking for help with individual healing.
I am the non ADHD Spouse and am ready to literally pull my hair out. I have written so many posts on here that I am sure you can see my rollercoaster life. My ADHD husband and I are finally at the stand still of it all. He is diagnosed, and going through treatment. He has yet to see a counselor but they have now moved up his dosage for meds twice. During our 3 years almost of marriage it has been hell. I am a Christian and really trying to do this God's way. We finally got into counseling and he admitted he hasnt forgiven me for the past, has a huge chip on his shoulder with me.
My husband was diagnosed with ADHD three years ago at the age of 66. We have been married for 45 difficult years. The diagnosis was a shock and a relief. At least it gave us some answers. He does well on Adderall, but, he will often forget to take it or choose not to take it due to something he may have read on the internet. He has cut himself off from his therapist for refusing to take anti anxiety meds, which he aslo desparately needs. Needless to say, he cannot do anything really.
I am the Non ADHD Spouse trying so very hard to to learn and understand ADHD. I almost walked out of my marriage a month ago until a light bulb went on and I finally saw myself and the stuff I was doing wrong.
In the summer of 2019 my now 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. After we had her start seeing a therapist and getting her symptoms under control, my wife of 19 years also started to see a separate therapist. This therapist, without having met me, and through the descriptions my wife gave was convinced that I was a narcissistic emotional abuser.
Hi Everybody,
My husband and I have been together since 2010 and married since 2013. We have not gotten diagnosed but I think we both have ADHD. I have been he sole provider since about a year into us dating. He lived with his parents for several years as he did not have a job and I did nt make enough money at the time to support us both as I lived with my mom as well. We have been living together for 6ish years now and I have been the sole provider the whole time.
Hi everyone,
Hello everyone,
So it's been a little over 3 weeks since my relationship ended with my undiagnosed adhd boyfriend. For the majority of of this time I've surprised myself and coped ok, feeling rational about it. However since the weekend it's been hitting me more, and causing a sadness, low mood and dare I say at times regret?!
