Hi all
I've been a lurker for a while and think this is a fantastic site. Where to start...my husband suffers from ADHD - on meds to manage condition. The past 8 years have been difficult in terms of money and making our marriage work - he has been in and out of work (mostly out) now he hasn't passed probation and I am expecting him to be fired (based on past history). He is very bright and even though he has this condition and tries hard to manage the symptoms he is his own worse enemy - eg sleeping late, not organising the night before, too much clutter etc. I'm at my wits end and feel I may need to call time on this marriage for my own sanity. Over the years I've noticed I'm suffering more from anxiety and stress just anticipating the next drama that will pop up. You know I just want a nice quiet life without going to his rescue all the time. I work full-time, do most of the childcare and all the housework and I'm exhausted. I didn't sign up for this.
Anyone else with an ADHD spouse? How do you cope?
Thanks
