Publisher's summary

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

How much I was told to accept abuse

I just listened to a bunch of stuff about how I have to normalize and accept sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse from my neurodivergent partner. I bought this book hoping to get some back-up and strategies for boundaries and validating my experience of what we would otherwise call abusive behaviors, Nope. I got a lot about how I have to “understand” and be positive, but astonishingly nothing about how I am supposed to function under these conditions. I have a lot of empathy for my partner, but I need more than how I have to do more for him, and expect nothing, to be my normal day to day life. Honestly, after reading this book, I would say, if there is nothing at all to be done to live with an ADHD partner besides know your life is going to be a living hell taking care of them and wanting no backup at all, just DO NOT get into a relationship with an ADHD person so you won’t need this advice. If you’re reading this book, it’s too late, and this expert is not going to help you.
