Adult ADD

Thirty years ago I had a platonic fifteen-month relationship. Was not going anywhere, but we parted as friends.

Then married another who died of cancer over a year ago.

Saw #1 for the first time in over 25 years 3/28. Told me he was Dx with high level ADD 7 years ago at age 58. Had been married for 7 years but divorced 12 years ago. Started reading “Driven to Distraction” per his suggestion, and it was like reading about my husband! Have also read “Think Fast”. I am so relieved to know that the past 30 years has not been my fault! My head has been swimming and just won’t stop. I am back in a relationship with #1 and would very much appreciate any help. I do realize that everybody is different.

I had just written a lot more, but I do want to respect his privacy. Are all of you ADDers, or are there some spouses/significant others I could correspond with? Could not find what I was looking for in Google. Had had a wonderful bladder cancer group for my husband. Read everything I could get my hands on, but it was a bleesing for me to hear about various reactions to varying chemo regimens, surgeries, etc. from those living with the condition.

Would love to hear from anybody willing to share hints and suggestions learned through trial and error. Thank you.
