[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m coming back to this thread to see if I can be helpful.  If you don’t want to divorce, here’s what you should do.

Odds are pretty good one of your kids will also have adjd so you need to educate yourself on it.  Sadly it sounds like his parents did not and did not give him tj appropriate supports to learn how to manage his condition.  Get a book or two on adhd and read it.  Then build some structures that will help him do what he needs to do.  Electronic calendars with reminders.  Lists.  Routines.  Stuff on autopay.  Get him an executive function coach for a few months.  You’re likely going to have to do this for one of your kids anyway so do it now and maybe it will save you a lot of time and energy in divorce.   There might be stuff you still have to help him with but with the appropriate structure he can do most of this.  [/quote]

op - yes. Very much done. I am my child's mother and he has a great deal of support. But while I have done many of the things you describe, there is a limit. I am not my husband's mother. I can autopay and remind him but he is a 46 year old man and I have a 10 hour a day job and I am not going to hand hold him through grocery shopping. [/quote]
