How do I communicate effectively with my boyfriend who has add/adhd.?
Sometimes he's great with my kids and sometimes he gets too rough with them. When I confront him, we end up fighting and he says I'm attacking him and will deny everything I just watched him do. He takes his medication and is usually ok. Also, he will not move out of his ex-wifes house, (this might be a whole other issue) He stays with me almost every night, but says he has to take baby steps before he'll actually move out. He's been with her for 13 years. He also will tell people I'm his girlfriend, then tell me we're not in a relationship, which confuses the hell out of me. He'll say he doesn't like kids, and then get so involved with my children. I love this man to pieces, we've been seeing eachother for a year now and I need some help in dealing with this. I'm trying to educate myself so I can have a better understanding of what he's going through because I used to just think he was being a rude and obnoxious jerk. I've been online looking and there's not a lot for non-add

EVEN THOUGH THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE CLEAR I GET A SENSE HE"S BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
Honey, the ADD ain't the problem with him--he's what we call back here a big poop head.
Dump his baby-momma wantin, immature actin' like a 8 year old ACE!
AGAIN.ITS NOT THE ADD.he's a creep, plain and simple.
This doesn't sound like add/I think you were right when you thought he was rude and obnoxious. People that suffer from add don't deny things that you just saw with your own eyes. I have a feeling his problems run deeper than add. You are already having problems with him and he isn't even living there. You kids don't have their bio Dad because he took off, don't you think they and you deserve better?
i think the fact that he lives with another women should clue you in. You need to contact the other women weather he likes it or not. sounds like from my point of view hes playing the both of you. and you need to take a stand. add has nothing to do with his behavior. Also read the book drivin to distraction, it is in my opinion the best book about adhd in adults and was written by a guy with adhd
BULLSHI--------! Dump this chump like a hot potato!! Child, wise up to what he is doing. Read your question and say ,put a 45 yr old woman in your place and a 40 yr old in his place and answer this question
wow. your situation is very complicated bc a lot of this is his problem. has he ever admitted to this being an issue or is he always in denial. his meds might need to be nudged one way or another. if i were you i would try to get him to discuss this in a couples counseling. that way you are in a neutral enviroment and have someone who has experience with his condition. also if you are lucky enough to get him to go work on the whole relationship. it will take alot of courage for him to go. how to get him there is the biggest issue. i think that it might help
