My Dad has it. Me and my brother have it too. My poor mom... It's been really hard for her. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was five. Then she joined Ch.A.D.D, which you may be familiar with. Shortly afterwards my Mom started noticing a lot of the same symptoms I have in Dad. Then he was diagnosed ADD. Once my little brother started school, it became readily apparent to all of us that he was ADD. He was diagnosed when he was six.
She found a lot of support and resources in Ch.A.D.D It stands fr Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder. There may be a chapter near you. Give them a call.

Not my spouse but my sister in law has ADD as well as my teenage son.
I love them both and yes, its challenging. Irritating. Annoying, Aggravating.
Neither one takes meds (my son did but now doesn't) but recognize that they have problems and try to compensate for them.
Good luck and Goddess Bless!

Yes...my husband is handful and a half. And on top of dealing with him I have 3 children...I always introduce him as my "4th child". Seriously, it is stressful living with an adult with ADD. I know your frustrations.

I do and at times it is most difficult to deal with but you just have to step back, take a deep breathe and remember that you love them with all your heart.

Yes! It's very hard sometimes, it's even harder because he won't go on any medication for it.
