[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, stop excusing and enabling your DH's behavior with cutesie names like "absent minded professor". Your DH is overwhelmed, and so are you.

Does your DH have ASD?[/quote]

Op here. No. We are both overwhelmed but that’s life-we have young kids, a house, careers, etc. it’s overwhelming but those parameters are what they are.[/quote]

But you are excusing his behavior, which I reasonably presume is making his behavior spiral down, not get better. You have four kids, did you think it would be easy?

Is he depressed? [/quote]

Op here. We have 3 kids (well, we have 2 but are long term fostering the 6 year old for a sibling who is struggling).

He’s not depressed.

I hate his behavior and am not excusing it. I’m just completely resigned. I’ve gotten him a medical check up, I’ve gone to therapy (as a couple and individually), I’ve deployed all kids of strategies and techniques for coping with his ADHD/forgetfulness/unreliability. He is who he is and I’ve accepted that I cannot change him or convince him to change. [/quote]
