Both of these can contribute to relationship dysfunction. Men that have ADHD notoriously struggle when it comes to sitting still and listening to emotional drama. Men with ADHD often project negative emotions when they get overwhelmed and they tend to unknowingly take up space. This can seem to be a narcissistic abuser however it’s not the same.
Add alcohol or drugs into the mix and problems get magnified leading to mean drunk behaviors and even blackouts. |
No alcohol or drug use involved. As far as we know, hubby doesn't have ADHD, but he did once tell me he thinks in images rather than words. I think in words. So if he has to translate my words to images, and then back again to communicate his images to me, I can see where he'd have trouble.
Hubby was raised by an abusive father. I think in some cases he just doesn't know better.
