f2add was a product of a brief membership with c.h.a.d.d. (with the high divorce rate among adult ADD'ers---the founder of the local chapter himself went through a "quiet" divorce while we were still in active attendance).
back in 2005, i was an eager significant other who felt empowered by the fact that my partner seemed to be "better" than the other members of the group, he held (and still does) a very responsible job and what seemed to be an extraordinary degree of intelligence.
what seemed lacking then, and admittedly still to this day, is the support group for (significant others, and) spouses. most resources, programs and statistics were geared towards parents and children with ADHD. more often than not, i found myself in attendance with mostly parents of children with ADHD.
it was very frustrating to say the least.

Why Blog?
together, let us "talk", support one another and come up with a plan to try to resolve the issues in our relationships.
if you HAVE developed a plan, please share it with others.
L I F E is exactly what it is.
the reasons that you fell in love are still there, your spouse (significant other) is still the person you chose to marry (be with). their good qualities are still there, their kindness, their laughter and their caring is still there.
remembering this is very important.
