Yeah, I think DH is in denial to a degree, as well as being frustrated that he didn’t get the support he felt he should have had when he was younger. So there is some jealously there too. His mum has GAD (not that she would admit it!), and he was talked out of many activities he really wanted to do because his mum was worried he might hurt himself, so he feels like our kids are getting all the opportunities and support that he should have had. I really think he needs to talk to someone and get it all off his chest, but I can’t force him to. He was even reluctant to come to the psychologist to discuss our son’s ADHD diagnosis. I think he will work things out in time. He is good with our daughter’s issues, maybe because he has seen GAD in his mum for a long time and has acccepted it as a real problem, and he feels more able to cope with it. I think he has trouble believing that ADHD is not just something that can be willed away, so to speak. He once told me that I would be able to use a diary if I really wanted to, and that I struggled because deep down I didn’t want my efforts to work. Grrrr!! That went down like a lead balloon!!!
Thanks for the website Curlymoe. It looks good.
