So recently I started doing some more reading. Currently reading “Dirty Laundry by Richard Pink and Roxanne Emery”. It’s for the most part a guide on how they deal with being a relationship with one of them having ADHD. My wife suggested the Tic Tok videos they do and I managed to get a copy of the book from that site. Most of information in the book I knew however much of it I feel like is new to me. Having lived with my wife for almost 15 years now I will say it’s an interesting read and it does give me a different perspective on how to deal with the behavior. Awhile back I read “Psych101 by Paul Kleinman” which basically went over many of the doctors that started the field of Psychology and theory and all that.
It was a interesting read however the problem with that book vs this one is that this one describes how to treat someone with ADHD while the other only really addresses it at a possibility with no real proof of treatment. Understanding the behavior is the goal here and for the most part I think I know all I need to know about the topic. I understand the planning, goals for achieving success and dealing with my own emotions towards said behavior. The thing I seem to struggle with more than anything is the point of view. I am ME.. She is Megan… Our brains do not comprehend things the same way but I suppose that’s part of the fun of being a relationship. Learning to deal with each others bullshit. Which I excel at!! I’M FULL OF SHIT TO DEAL WITH!
Having the addition of a child just makes it all that more interesting on top of having to be an adult with all that comes with the title. Being an adult sucks and any adult who tells you it doesn’t is either delusional or has never had to deal with anything they felt they had been responsible for IE Are Rich with everyone doing things for them hence never being responsible.
Speaking of Responsible behavior working is going great as normal and things are changing again. I’m not sure if it will all be good or bad but this new company that owns the old company is at a transitional period so everyone is adjusting to that pretty well. My responsibilities haven’t changed much at all but I have defined better my roles and feel like it’s progressed for everyone involved. Over all everyone is happy and I currently have no complaints! Like a cleaned well oiled machine things have been smooth so far but I think the summer time “as it always does” will change that soon.
The weather is beautiful today so i’m hoping to get a great deal done outside. WE WILL SEE!
