[quote=HubertStomp]Based on her behavior and stories she's told me about her family, I'm convinced that her ADHD (and other "diagnosed" ailments) are excuses for her self-absorbtion which borders on narcissism. Her college-educated parents bizarrely believe in inherited, not nurtured behavior and further excuse her behavior as passed down by the women in her father's family. Except every negative story my MIL has told me about her father applies to my wife. I'm the breadwinner and default parent. I believe that of our shared responsibilities (excluding financial), I do 75% of the work. The term "underfunctioning" fits perfectly. The underfunctioning part is hard but not as hard as the criticism she dishes out. It's like a punch to the stomach followed by a kick to the balls. What are strategies those of you with "underfunctioning" partners employ?[/quote]
