You sit him down and explain that his behavior is completely beyond the pale, that you believe it is mostly due to ADHD, and mental health is not a shameful thing, and that you will divorce him if he does not seek appropriate medical help.

I have not divorced my husband because of what he would do with the kids by himself. But you can always use that threat to make him understand that you are in deadly earnest.

Then he goes to a psychologist or psychiatrist with you, reports on his symptoms, you report on what you observe him doing (having a witness is crucial because mental health patients rarely self-report accurately), he then gets meds prescribed and you go through the ramping up period checking for potential side effects and whatnot.

ADHD is often comorbid with learning disabilities. My son has extremely slow processing speed, which makes him appear preternaturally stupid even though he has a gifted IQ (!!!!! tearing my hair out), dyscalculia and dysgraphia, as well as spatial awareness and motor issues.

You husband could very well have a super IQ, that has nothing to do with his ability to function in daily life. Frustrating, isn't it???
