I love that you wrote this! I am married to a man who is ADHD and I had to learn this in the worst way. I would just get upset with him because he wouldn't "just focus". I was ignorant of the struggle and the fact that he literally cannot help it. And that is not because he didn't have "enough self-control" or was being some sort of way. I really had to understand. I'm ashamed that in our early years of marriage I did not understand. I am grateful that I have been set straight. I think it's so important that we educate people more on this. I'm so sorry you had to go for so long feeling the way you did, but what a wonderful friend that you have who could help you see, it's truly not your fault. I'm so glad you have decided to choose YOU and do what you needed to do to make your life better. :D
Laura, thank you for your kind words and honest response. So many people have no idea and there is so much grace for that… realizing that some of the people who loved me the most really didn’t know provided me an opportunity to educate and share with them so they can love me more fully. We are all growing and the fact that your husband has someone who was willing to learn and understand is a gift.
