40yr old single Dad of 3 boys whose Mom finally left me 13 months ago yesterday. About 3 weeks deep into an ADHD diagnosis and Adderall treatment (20mgs, twice a day) Today I set up a system to keep me from incessantly texting my ex about every cool thing I read about my condition and want to share with her (pick up any book about ADD-ruined relationships for a peek into our diary.) I set up an email specifically for her to ignore. This way I can self-stimulate by sharing without blowing up her phone. Maybe one day she will read one of the blogs or memes and accidentally say something about it, exposing her denial and reluctant acknowledgement that it wasn’t my fault I had no idea how crazy I was making her. I haven’t texted her ALL DAY, sent her just 3 links and I’ve only burst into tears twice! Progress!

PS. If you’re reading this, just call me so we can talk will ya? I promise not to freak out.
