I don’t know about you, but when I was growing up we didn’t know a whole lot about ADHD. It was all about little boys who were super annoying, super loud, and who couldn’t sit still – but there was medication to fix that, and so no one really thought to dig any deeper.
Now that we’re adults, some of us are in relationships with those little boys (and girls who were missed) who are still living and coping with ADHD on a daily basis – and if you’re curious how it can affect a partnership, these 11 people are confessing all.
I wish we could ask these people to elaborate.
