My son was diagnosed several years ago at age 21 or so with ADHD.  After reading about ADHD, I got diagnosed the next year.  My wife apparently does not have ADHD and although I see a lot of ADHD behavior in her, I think it can be explained otherwise.

For years, she has said that there was something wrong with the kid, (like I’m supposed to talk to him and fix the problem) and I’m, of course, like “He seems normal to me.”  She seems to have no idea what ADHD is and has no desire to learn.

I haven’t been able to fix me, sure don’t see how I could fix him, and mostly what I get from her is that “you did that on purpose” and “he needs to try harder.”

It’s hard to not feel that she doesn’t care.

Do you see this a lot?
