Your partner’s attention
deficit disorder (ADD) may not seem like a big deal at first, but
eventually, the dynamics surrounding his or her impulsivity,
forgetfulness, distractibility, and restlessness can really strain your
relationship. You don’t want to act like a parent, yet you may feel like
you can’t rely on your partner to get things done. Loving Someone with Attention Deficit Disorder is
your guide to navigating a relationship with someone with ADD so you
can create healthy boundaries while remaining sympathetic to your
partner’s symptoms.
An essential resource for every couple affected by ADD, this book will help you:
• Understand medication and other treatments
• Recover quickly when your partner’s symptoms frustrate you
• Establish personal boundaries to avoid excessive caretaking
• Identify and take care of your own needs so you can feel more relaxed
First line:
"The problem with ADHD as a disorder is that no one can "see" it."
An interesting book. If you think you have someone in your life who has ADHD, this book will help you understand them better. And in turn, you will understand where your boundaries and needs are and how to take care of yourself.
