143: ADHD-Staying Married if You’re the Neurotypical

In my experience, the most usual family structure is some number of children with ADHD and one parent with ADHD and one neurotypical parent. In my practice, most of the time the neurotypical parent was the Wife and the husband was the ADHDer. Obviously there are no rules. In my own case, I’m the husband and my wife has the ADHD.

I’ll talk about some things you can do to be more comfortable and last longer, some from my clinical experience and some from my personal experience.
