Greetings, I viewed your post and I can relate (or my wife can). I am step father of 2 boys and I have one on the way (boy). I just recently got married, last year. The wife is very fustrated with how I act at times. Sometimes, I am labeled forgetful, irresponsible, immature and a idot. Well, it all comes down to this, I have ADHD and I'm begining to learn more about it in the last year. I just wish that the wife would read into my situation a little bit, to get a better understanding. I can be responsible at times, but the mind has a tendency to deviate and I would do something out of order. I do have a respectable govt job and I do provide for the family. But, there are times that I wish my wife would have more patience with the ADHD.

My suggestion is be more patient and educate yourself. Grab self help book on ADHD and read together. Sometimes, it's hard for person with ADHD to complete book, but stick to it. I believe education is the key.

Hang in there,
KJ
