Hello, my name is Veda. My brother has ADHD, while at first I used to get angry every
time he seemed to be careless. However I am now beginning to understand the challenges he
faces. I aim to study how ADHD affects adult relationships. If you have ADHD and are 18 or
older. Please fill out this short questionnaire!!
Done! That was quite well written, I found. Hope you get a lot of responses.
Thank you so much!!
I would love to hear about your findings and analysis
Yes, I will post soon!!
I am the one in the relationship who doesn't have ADHD and have been struggling to understand my BF's actions and attitudes. I hope that I haven't taken up your time by answering for him and offering my feelings and perspectives of a relationship with one having ADHD. If so I sincerely apologize. I am only beginning to understand such a relationship and committing to be in one.
After over a decade and so many hours on the internet trying to find reasons one would feel or act the way he does, I am just starting to see a glimmer of light and a better understanding of our differences. I understand that I have more responsibilities placed upon me and have decided to accept the role that has been forced on me, even though it has never been a strong trait for me as I have been the one who has been taken care of. I figure with almost twenty-five years being together with my late husband and having his care that it is meant for me in my life to be on the other side. This is needed for me to gain understanding and perspective of being the dominant person taking care of another. That this is part of my journey that I am meant to take.
However, having ADHD thrown into the equation has not been easy or considered to be equivalent to what has been given to me. There is a reason for me to experience the mostly negativity and very little positivity directed towards me and how I may never be given a chance or be seen as caring or doing any good. How when I say black he will argue to say it's white.
As I have mentioned, I have accepted this because I see the good in his eyes and have chosen to trust and believe in him. I only wish that my dream of him returning the same belief and trust back to be and be able to give me the love I need will eventually come true and makes all the troubles and effort worth enduring the problematic time beforehand.
Thank you for letting me express my perspective and feelings and again apologize if I am inappropriate for responding and answering your questionnaire. And with writing this post afterwards. However, I also want to express by doing so has helped me to take a few more steps in my journey and I feel good about that. I also believe that you have developed excellent questions that will help you to achieve your goal. Very well done!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the detailed response.
Done! I did have one question about joining groups that I didn't understand, and I noted it on the questionnaire. 🙂
I would also like to find out about your results when you finish! 😁
