why bring back f2add? (our mission)

today, as it was back in 2005, there is still no ONE PLACE for spouses (as i have been one since 2006) to "connect", share and support each other while living our daily lives with Adult family blessed with ADHD.

f2add's mission: to provide that venue.

why f2add?

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.

f2add was born in 2005
