So he called after he drove by on his way to run some errands and asked, Why are your van doors open? And I responded by saying I DONT ****ING KNOW! So that all ended up escalating with him coming home, busting through to door and coming at me while im on the couch with my 9 month old..he pushes me around, screams in mt face, spits on me, and hits me in the arms and legs.

So my question is, does having a short temper and agressive behavior come with the territory of having ADHD? Anyone have any experience with that or have any insight?
What comes to mind is what does that matter? Do you want someone that's capable of that - no matter the reason - in your life (and your children's)?
Thanks for this!
