[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t blame ADHD. I have that and also have street smarts. I’d never have opened the door. [/quote]

OP here and I do actually blame ADHD because DH has done many similar things that show a lack of an ability to pause and think vs. just following the first random impulse he has. He explained to me this morning that his thought pattern was “doorbell rang, have to get it.” It’s scary that our safety is in the hands of someone who can’t slow down and apply some critical thinking to a situation. It’s happened in many situations and even ones specific to the front door, and always on days when he doesn’t take medication or it’s very late and it’s worn off.

Years ago he opened the door for a stranger who mixed up addresses. He didn’t crate our unrestrained dog as we always did at the time because “the doorbell was ringing” and “there was no time” and the dog rushed the person at door. The person later threatened to sue us but dropped it because he hadn’t been bit or anything. That’s just one example. [/quote]
