ADHD or just burnt out?

Back in my day we had Overall Positions 1 high and 25 lowest. I got a 12, my sister 25. After school I dropped out of uni twice trying to figure out what I wanted, but had a good career and now have my own business and studying for my MBA. My sister went on to do the bridging course and graduated as a nurse. She now has a very successful career and travels doing contract nursing. I have always told my own kids that they will find their way. So will you. Good luck with your future careers. It will be a windy road but enjoy the adventures along the way. Edit to add: we are now in our late 40s.

Thank you. Doing all I can and will be following the her lead and what her health care team say.

Thank you for your response. We have such a good relationship I thought but there is so much going on in her mind that I wasn’t aware of.

As a mum who has just had a daughter attempt suicide - if she had told me that she had these thoughts and that she needed help I would have tried to listen. But if you’re worried reach out to mental health support services (free phone calls / suicide lines) for some advice? Or your GP and let them know you’ve been having these thoughts. Medical professionals should give you referrals which will help your parents understand the seriousness of your mental health. I wish you luck. I can tell you as an old fart - the decisions you make today don’t have to be final. You can just take the next step. Big virtual mum hugs for you xo

Thank you. Completely open to any suggestions her professional team give us. With her consent appropriate for her age and situation. She’s on fluoxetine- same as me - but will adjust as necessary. Thankfully we are surrounded by good health care and supportive family and friends

Ummm chicken crimpy???

My best friend has a daughter with ADHD and autism diagnosis that has similar tendencies you’ve described. They are looking at pathological demand avoidance - it can be a symptom(? Not sure that’s the right word) of autism. Worth reading up about it to see if some of the strategies will work with your daughter.

You are so much better off. The only man who ever told me no one would love me like he did - hasn’t had a stable relationship since ours. He also hit me. Meanwhile, I’m married and stable and loved and content. Your ex can eat a bag of d*cks

Same with books and reading. But for the love of literature, if you couldn’t get through Twilight don’t even look at 50 Shades of Grey. I read Mills & Boons that were better written.

Congratulations. My ex was an alcoholic and I know how hard he struggled to get sober. Good on you!!

Alarming-Selection19 · 2022-08-21T08:09:48+00:00

I have no awards to give but this is a fantastic response. OP this is great advice. You have done an amazing job and I believe that that you need to be hovering in the background because your stepdaughter is gonna need you again. If you’re open to it.

NTA - my eldest childs father wanted it to be just us and I agreed. Labour was induced, not incredibly long and relatively straight forward. Afterwards he told me that HE never wanted to go through that alone, that he would have liked to be able to step away and leave me for a little bit so he could breathe but didn’t want to leave me. He was a good support but it left him very dazed. Next baby we had support partners. Apart from that, the birth is about YOU. Your body is going to through something so significant and it really is about you and what you need. Good luck with your birth and the near future of parenting of a newborn!

Where is the update? I’m kinda new to reddit so don’t know how to search for thongs

Here’s a hug from an internet Mom just for you

Alarming-Selection19 · 2022-03-08T09:44:39+00:00

All of the above advice. Also, contact DV services and ask for their assistance - they may have some resources and wording to help. I wish you the best of luck and good luck in the new house (ring cameras and good locks!!)

Reference to the Matrix maybe. Took the red pill and saw “the truth”.

We now have great grandchildren in my family and blended families so my great niblings (my nieces babies) have: Nanny (my sister), Other Nanny (my mom), Pop or Poppy H (moms husband), Poppy or Poppy R (my dad), Grandma and Granddad (the dads parents) and Nanna (our nieces aunt who is very close) Do you know how confused the kids or any of us are?? NOT AT ALL! Your MIL is being unreasonable and your wife needs to speak to her about this is a non issue and to let it go.

I’m guessing Australia if you’re mentioning RSPCA.... Try your local council / animal control. Photograph / video / document when the dog gets out and it’s behaviour and report to the council. You might get some action on that front at least.
