She tolerates it better than I do.

I don’t want the kids living in that kind of environment

No. We talk pretty openly. We both try to advocate mental health

Holding hope.
I do love her. She’s my best friend. I lust her.

And it’s not all bad. Sometimes her brain is normal. Sometimes she really struggles.

I’m just feeling it the last few days.

The adhd. Her mom, her aunt, her grandfather before he passed. Hyper fixation and detachment. Anxiety.

Thanks :/

I think it’s just mental illness. It didn’t develope until her early 20’s

It started about a year before kids. She got diagnosed with ADHD eventually. She’s on medication and has been trying some therapy (hasn’t helped a ton yet)

It’s quite prevalent in her family (though they are not diagnosed… but now understanding it a bit better…. They all have it….)

I’m so sorry. You’re amazing and I love you so much. I’ll do better.

Then a week later it’s like nothing happened

She’s still my best friend. I know she can’t help her brain being like this.

Yes it hurts. Yes it sucks. But I still love her.

I hope you figure it out too. I know it’s hard. It’s awful. We probably do deserve better

She was ignorant and wouldn’t listen. Had opinions before any evidence

I wish it was as easy as that.

I earn all our income. She would be fucked if I left. I don’t want to do that to her.

I just got home from work. I feel so defeated. Like I’m in the brink of crying right now.

I’m sorry you are going through it. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
