[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did it pass on to your children? What are the odds of children of parents with ADHD also having it? [/quote]

Why would you even go out with someone with ADHD let alone marry him?[/quote]

BECAUSE IT CAN BE INVISIBLE. There's the hyperactive type and inattentive type. When you're meeting as single people with no obligations, the executive function aspect of it can be completely fine. And then when you add in the responsibilities of owning a house (maintenance, repairs, yardwork), and children (parenting, scheduling, planning ahead) and moving higher up the chain at work, plus possible grandparent wrangling as they get older...

... the person's executive functioning abilities will not be able to keep up, and that's when resentment grows and that person starts gaslighting and projecting because it's really hard to admit they're messing up all the time.

Stop blaming young adults for not seeing all the red flags. Sometimes there aren't any!

Stop with the term gaslighting! I’m so over hearing people use this term - and most of the time doing it incorrectly![/quote]
