[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, I agree with your husband. Why on earth are you constantly getting into accidents? That’s really not normal at all. You should go be up your license and walk or take public transit before you seriously injure someone. [/quote]

Agree. Grow up. Take driving lessons or something. You’re a danger, and your husband isn’t to blame for wanting nice things like cars to not look like crap and be dinged up. The answer here isn’t “he needs to accept me for who I am even though I’m a f*ckup”, it’s “I need to do better because how I am now isn’t acceptable.”[/quote]

I try!

I have taken driving lessons before. I know what they entail and don’t see how they will help me.

Fwiw my van has cameras and sensors and although they help, I still have this issue. Part of the problem is, I’ll go a really long time without hitting anything then get [b]careless like this morning when I was in a rush and distracted and hit a stop sign[/b]. Now all my good effort counts for nothing with him.

I feel like I have to just admit defeat and drive nothing but old beaters from now on.

My DH is crazy. He’s at work sending me links to expensive, albeit small new cars. He says his reason is that he wants to want to drive it too.

I need to call it a day, trade the van in, and buy a small used car for under 15-20k. Then he won’t care about dings or scratches.[/quote]

That's not poor spatial awareness. That's inattentive ADHD.

It's both. They go together. If you are medicated with stimulants for ADHD, and practice parking, you will improve beyond recognition! My son has severe inattentive ADHD and is very impaired spatially. We are extremely concerned about his future driving ability. I have mild inattentive ADHD and had 60 hours of driving lessons, because that's what it took. I don't want to kill myself, or kill somebody else.

But do talk to a psychiatrist or psychologist first about ADHD, just to make sure you have it. No one should prescribe you stimulants without a diagnosis, anyway.
