The ADHD Effect on Marriage: Understand and Rebuild Your Relationship in Six Steps by Melissa Orlov

2.0

Since recieving an ADHD diagnosis this has been the most unhelpful resource i have come across. The perspective of this book is written by a female spouse who does not have ADHD with a male spouse who does. I couldn't relate to the issues in the marriage that the author went into. Most of the issues seemed to be related to a male archetypal role in the marriage. Things like not helping with the children, or not contributing to running the household are not only not relatable, but are not options for a mother of 3 little ones. This was onesided and honestly kind of old fashioned. I couldn't seperate the issues of ADHD in a marriage from the issue of an absent father who contributed almost nothing to the family.
