Doubling the Chaos- From ADHD to Motherhood

As we discuss our life paths so far, we share stories about college and university, jobs, relationships, realising we had ADHD, and becoming mums. We keep it real about the reality of parenting while managing ADHD, from dealing with societal gender expectations to the unique struggles of women with ADHD. This episode looks at the complexities of ADHD female life... becoming ADHD mum life, discussing everything from the challenge of maintaining household routines to  inconsistency with discipline. Drawing from a study of 500 American parents with ADHD children, we also shed light on how these situations can affect father-child relationships, and share our own struggles around self-blame and shame.In our regular feature we discuss their highs and lows of our week as ADHD mums.  Get ready, because we think that the experiences that we share may give you some major moments of feeling a lot less like the odd one out.Whether you're a parent with ADHD, or you know someone who is, tune in for an episode packed with relatable experiences, raw emotions, insights, tips, and a whole lot of heart.RESOURCES:Ladders Of Life,  long-running Liverpool support group for ADHD/ Aspergers adults.Support the showFurther TW: This podcast references at times: alcohol abuse, depression, mood disorders, medical emergency, miscarriage, traffic accidents, grief and loss, teen pregnancy, anxiety, abuse, PDA, low self esteem, and anti-depressant medications, disordered eating, hoarding...All music written and produced by Ash Doc Horror Lerczak.Artwork by GenFor more information about us, our podcast and our ADHD MUMS community, visit OUR WEBSITE.
