[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realities of DH:
-  ADD (let me senior dog out to potty, forgot about him, and the dog drowned in the pool)
- on the spectrum 
- career fell off a cliff 8 years ago (fired from job, accepted low paying government drone position and has never left)

It’s been a struggle, but we have two kids and I literally have zero family support so I’m not leaving.  I make significantly more than him, and also work an extra 30 hours per month as an attorney freelancer (on top of my full time job) so we can have a nice life and have a vacation, throw a good bday party for the kids etc.

I left (which I know DCUM likes to destroy people for) because I couldn’t handle it anymore. Severed ADHD, could barely handle his exec job while we were together and I did *everything* else - after we split he lost his job and ADHD’d (procrastinated) his way through all of his severance and had to take a huge pay cut job which I suspect he will never be pro-active enough to leave for a better paying one. So career also fell off of a cliff.

So here I am still doing everything for DC (which is fine because I don’t have an adult child to take care of too) AND I probably have to pay for everything/way more than 50%. College etc. ex-DH has saved a paltry sum thus far.

I wonder every now and again if ex wonders how DC get’s school books, school supplies, lunches funded, uniforms, field trip forms, annual school forms, medication/doctors appointments, etc etc etc. I hope I never get hit by a bus…[/quote]

also have ADHD spouse
it's insane bc it's somehow supposed to be ok for them to do no things and us to have to do everything and we can say nothing. This evening dh had taken all the kids sweaters from the living room and instead of hanging them up or asking the kids to hang them up, dumped them in a pile in the kids closet and then yelled at me for being annoyed about it. 
you cannot win. [/quote]
