So I had a GREAT meeting with my ADHD coach today! Got a lot accomplished, and as always, I have "homework".

Here is where it gets hard. I have not made it secret that D and I have our issues. Part of my homework is to write down things I want to be able to talk to him about, then bring it with when he and I meet with the FT. 12 years of stuff is hard to get through to even start writing! (not that I am writing down 12 years worth of stuff, just getting past 12 years of history to get over to break the writer's block)

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. The family therapy and my ADHD Coaching (not only for me to learn skills, but to be able to teach Bug and Crash skills) may be our last hope of staying together as a family...

Can you start with the small stuff first? That really would be hard. That might even be hard for your husband. Good luck, and I do hope that it works for you. This is HARD

theotterone,
It is a difficult process, and I wish you well...

My own experience in doing somewhat the same thing forced us to be honest with each other. Many things that we finally spoke of helped us to the where/why our marriage had changed...
It turned out that we are very good friends, but were a lousy married couple. He is significant in my life in that we have grown children. Our relationship with them, and with each other, has changed for the better. It was healthier for us to accept this and not hang onto the past...
There was actually incredible relief and freedom from so many painful things.

I sincerely hope you are able to work through this together, theotterone. It may be the hardest thing you've ever done, but it can also be very rewarding...clearing the air, so to speak.
Jme, be honest and direct without making accusations...or taking all the blame. Marriage is not 50-50, sometimes it's 30-70 or 10-90 or any other ratio.
As with anything else, it's give and take...you are important, too, so please try not to feel the success of this rests on you alone.

Keeping you in my thoughts for focus and trust.
Catherine
