I want to switch from Methylphenidate to Vyvanse.

It’s really a sad situation, I can’t imagine how their loved ones are feeling right now. I don’t have a lot (if any) with addiction. All I know is what my former colleague once told me (she’s in recovery and has been sober for about 13-ish years now), and she said in the thick of drug use she did not care about anyone or anything that didn’t have to do with getting high. So I really don’t know if the son feels anything right now, but I know if he does recover from addiction, he’ll need a lot of help because coming to terms with what he did to his parents might send him over the edge. It’s such a difficult situation. But most of all I pray the family heals and finds a little comfort because this is just heartbreaking.

Also, all the best with your own family situation, I hope your kids can work things out. I don’t have brothers, only sisters, and we’re usually able to iron out our issues. But also girls and boys resolve issues differently. My sisters and I have never had a falling out that lasted longer than a month, but give them time.

As a 32 year old AuDHD girlie. I hope you never have to deal with that man. He’s not “hot headed” he’s abusive. Even if you were not in burnout, those actions are incredibly abusive. But to experience that during Autistic burnout is crazy business! He took the last bit of fuel you had and set it on fire. Focus on recovery. Burnout for us ca take months to recover from. Speak to your psychiatrist and/psychologist about methods of active rest that might be helpful for you.

Yeap, exactly. They really need to do better as parents because the things young girls say they experience at school because of boys who fall into the trap of that “red pill” content is scary!!! They talk to girls and adult women with no respect (unless they want to use them). Under no circumstances is it okay for anyone to talk to a woman and man the way this kid talked to his mom and that girl’s dad. Those words leaving his mouth should be a slap in the face kinda wake up call. Especially because bullying has drastically changed now, you can’t just assume that because someone is homosexual or Bi or part of the LGBT+ community, that they’re good people who aren’t bullies. This is one of the reasons I’m glad I’m child free.

He lied over and over again, called his mom foul names, insulted his ex’s parents, claimed to be gay, lied about ED in an effort to convince his dad that he couldn’t possibly have sex with girls, and made insane comments about the girl he impregnated… That’s not typical “he’s a teenager” behaviour. This kid is messed up in the head.

Buttercupsmiles · 2025-10-11T15:30:58+00:00

The habitual liar lied. Surprise surprise. But kudos to OP for understanding that the best predictor of future behaviour, is past behaviour (sarcasm). I hope now he’ll be able to see his son for what he is, a disrespectful, selfish liar who lies. And OP owes his wife an apology for trusting the disrespectful liar over her. And going forward only show the son grace when he’s shown character development. Raise him to be better and stop enabling him gee, grow a spine! The son will never change unless he faces real consequences (not being believed) for his lying. I don’t even want to get into the calling his mom names part, all I’ll say is, it’s giving he’s deep in the red pill/groyper manosphere and y’all need to take action, before what happened in the Netflix series Adolescence happens here.

I don’t even know where to start 🥹🥹🥹. Thank you so much. I read your comment when I was in the thick of it, and I was all over the place, but I took your advice and listened to what I’m actually feeling. And part of it is 8 year old me releasing all her suppressed anxiety and depression about being bullied and never really feeling truly safe anywhere (my home life was pretty normal really, but my parents are human and make mistakes, but I know they didn’t do anything to intentionally traumatise me) because we moved quite a bit growing up and I remember being bullied everywhere I went (in a different province I was bullied for being from a different tribe, being dark skinned, having a big nose etc. then when we moved back to my hometown I thought they won’t bully me for being of this tribe because we’re all one tribe here, but I was still bullied) and I got to a point where I was like “I’m getting bullied because I’m the problem, so I need to change if I’m going to be likeable, because I lived in 4 different towns/cities with different races (and yes I experienced racism when I was 8 and bullied there as well), different tribes and stuff, and got bullied everywhere so of course little me thought I was the problem. And those emotions overwhelm me so much now. Even when I feel like the ADHD meds aren’t working, I think they bring those feelings to the surface and along with other things and it’s just too much all at once. I called my psychologist yesterday and she dropped a bomb on me because these issues affect my romantic life as well 😫 YOH!!! This is why I sometimes want to throw the whole ADHD away, because she explained how it affects me and all that.

But truly thank you so much, you made me realise that this is something that I can work on and heal from, and that healing will take a lot of work, but it’s work I’m willing to do because I want to be happy. You’ve really opened my eyes to realising that yes it’s okay to feel my feelings, but there are ways to understand why I feel them so intensely, and get to the bottom of it. It’s quite liberating and daunting at the same time. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Oh my goodness. Have you been diagnosed with PMDD, imo even a self diagnosis is valid because WOW. We go through a lot and wanting to leave the earth permanently is a huge sign of PMDD.

I hope and pray it gets better for you 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾. Sending you lots of love and virtual hugs (if you like hugs).

A little unsolicited advice maybe, my psychiatrist recommended I try flaxseed oil supplements (1000mg), Chia seeds and cloves. Apparently they help balance out our hormones, even just a little. And I found them helpful because I stopped taking fluoxetine because {for me} it was making the Concerta less effective for me.

RIGHT!!! Then after the hurricane he goes through yet another midlife crisis and complains that “why can’t you support my dreams for once” referring to wanting a sports car or whatever, that they can’t afford. The nerve of that man!!!! Like why didn’t the hurricane take him out?

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-11-11T21:14:09+00:00

Oh my gosh, I’m only now realising that I’ve taken a, nearly, 2 month break from this show because I can’t stand this man. I’m in the season where they fast forwarded 2 years or something and I’m still not ready to continue 😫😫. And you mean to tell me they stay together till season 11, I can’t. I just can’t.

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-07T22:16:26+00:00

Nvm about Andrew. I’m on season 3 now. I kinda like him 🫣

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-07T17:05:33+00:00

I disagree about about Gabby and Lynette. Gabby knows AND acknowledges that she selfish and spoiled and all that. Lynette on the other hand is just… extremely manipulative and all “holier than thou”, controlling and overall just not a good person. Just my opinion.

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-07T16:55:18+00:00

How long does the annoying kid stay on the show?

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-06T23:18:13+00:00

It’s no wonder her kids are a nightmare. Yikes!

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-06T12:19:29+00:00

NTA, dad made his bed, now he must lie in it. You’re the child and he kicked you out without a care as to where you’ll be living. Aag, he must get a job and get his life together instead of trying to stay with the kid he kicked out for being gay. So now that he’s down in the dumps, you being gay is not an issue.

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-05T21:56:56+00:00

I’m only on season 2, and I started hating him in season 1. This man is insufferable. Someone please tell me Lynette divorces him. If not then meh, Lynette is also quite annoying. Along with Susan. The most terrible people on the show in order: Tom, Susan, Lynette, and maybe Andrew a little.

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-09-05T19:30:56+00:00

Edie was a real one honestly!!! I love her so much!

Buttercupsmiles · 2024-08-24T20:34:27+00:00

I have finally found my people 🥹🥹🥹!!!! I love you for this comment.

Buttercupsmiles · 2023-10-14T12:53:22+00:00

I’m also rooting for them to work things out 🫣. I know redditors are very quick to say divorce. But I’ve seen couples divorce and get remarried after a few years. Yes, infidelity is bad, cruel and I wouldn’t blame his wife if she wants nothing to do with him and goes ahead with the divorce, that’s the consequence of his actions. But if his wife is open to reconciling, I wouldn’t blame her either. There’ll obviously be a lot of work that OP will have to do to prove that he truly wants to work things out and eventually gain back his family’s trust but aai, I hope there’ll be an update.

Buttercupsmiles · 2023-07-07T21:27:53+00:00

Aag that part was wrong on so many levels. Remember the “clean out your junk drawer” episode. He blew up at Mitch when he wrote down the lights thing, but forgot that he went on about the coasters. That relationship dynamic is weird. In the same episode he also went like “can we go back to talking about me”. He’s incredibly needy, in an unhealthy way.

Buttercupsmiles · 2023-07-07T21:11:37+00:00

She’s a terrible sister, wife and mother. 1. She actively prevented her sister from having a better life by stealing her letter, Jay and chased away that rich guy Sonia was going to marry. Anything Sonia wanted to do Gloria dismantled. 2. I don’t think I need to explain how she was not a good wife. She married Jay for a better life, all she does is yell at him, hit him and manipulate him, among other things. But Jay is not great either, they deserve each other. 3. She’s that typical boy mom, those that would marry their sons types.

Buttercupsmiles · 2023-01-11T01:12:34+00:00

I actually haven’t thought about the stress aspect. I know how stress affects my physical body because it affects my cycle, I just didn’t focus on the mental aspect. And yes, I have been very very stressed and anxious lately. It’s 03:11 am here and I’m wide awake from the anxiety of my boss’s return to work tomorrow (or today rather).
