Wondering asked: My boyfriend and I have been together for about two years. He was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Sometimes it is really hard being in a relationship with an ADHD adult. My boyfriend, for example, does not recognize social boundaries. He is emotionally promiscuous in my eyes. He flirts with other women, and he doesn’t care that this hurts me, even though I address my concerns to him. I don’t think he would ever physically cheat on me. Do ADHD adults have a tendency to cheat (physically- sex, etc) on their significant others? This guy is the sweetest guy in the world to me, but we are different in some ways. I am in college and I have aspirations for the future. He doesn’t know where he wants to be in ten years. These are just a few examples that I can think of. Is anybody else in a relationship with an ADHD adult? I don’t want to leave him, I love him so much. Does anybody have any coping strategies? He is very stubborn sometimes. I don’t want this disorder to be an obstacle
It is also a problem trying to get him to do simple things such as not leaving his clothes on the floor… he helps me with chores around the house when I ask him too, but he won’t just take the initiative and do some. Do they ever change? Maybe this is all men, LOL.

cocoa asked: It’s started a few months ago but its getting out of hand. Where do I start, I am a mother of 3, am married to a disabled man, and I work Monday through Friday 8:30 to 5:30. I get home mentaly exhausted and start dinner. After dinner I give the kids their baths and clean house and wash laundry. I am to the point where I can’t stand doing all these things. We are struggling more than we ever have with finances. My husband just qualified for disabilty but it will take about a month or two till it will benefit the household. All my bills are piling up. I fight all day and night with my husband and kids. Its to the point that I am telling everyone that I hate life and that I am going to leave. I dont mean this and I start crying. I keep saying mean things to my kids and husband and I dont want to be this way. I have been getting road rage while I drive and even get anxiety attacks in the grocery store and through the bank drive thru. I feel like I am hyperventillating and feel angry when I am in these situations. I think its stress and depression and I honestly cant afford to go to a doctor. I can only imagine it will get worse during the holidays. As a teen I struggled with depression and anxiety and was on medications. I learned to control it but now its taking over again. I dont want my kids to think I hate them because I want to be the best mother I can. I also want to be a better wife to my husband. I feel bad for him because he tries to help me relax or sometimes wants to be intimate and I just blow up at him by yelling and crying. I am tired of this emotional rollercoaster. My family depends on me too much. My husband is bi polar and my son is ADHD. I was never an angry person around my kids and now they don’t even like to be around me when I get this way. My older daughter is having signs that I had at her age when I found out I had an anxiety/depression problem and its killing me to know she may be like me one day. What can I do, am I alone? Please no mean advice.

flopsy asked: He’s a workaholic, my teenage kids are used to the idea that he’s never home. Sex ended about 10 !! years ago. Really. How do I get him to move out? He makes the $, I do everything else and I mean everything - bills, house, taxes, homework, cars. It’s like having an additional infant at home. He couldn’t tell the water heater from the furnace. He makes a good living but lacks social/planning skills to live on his own (and he knows it). He probably needs the adderall for his own ADHD but refuses to get a diagnosis (”What would work think?”). He knows how I feel and can’t stand me either but since he’s always too busy with work (large corporation, lots of people to delegate to if only he knew how!!), he won’t organize to move out. What do I do?
Serve him with papers? Change the locks? Involve the authorities because of the stimulant stealing? If I’m planning to divorce, what steps should I take to protect myself financially & ensure that the process is not protracted? Thanks.

gshock asked: Now another doctor said he has some sort of Autism instead of ADHD. My child had ticks and other side effects of the medication. Can I sue the doctor for misdiagnosing the child ? Can I also sue my ex-wife because she insisited to give medication to the child despite my objection as she’s having full custody of the child ?
