This week's Listener Questions:

Vaness asks: How do you overcome the forgetfulness? I'm dying to let go of some things that I took on (household chores, kid stuff, etc) but he cannot seem to juggle much else besides work & hubby/dad life. I need him to help, which means remembering to do the dishes without me having to ask him-it's one more mental thing on my plate, like having another kid 🥴😕 Our non-binary child also has it and we see the same struggles. It's so tough. Thank you for doing this! 💕

Andrada asks: Suggestions for diagnosis as an adult. Favorite resources to help spouse & self. Your comment about white lies due to anxiety really hit home to me in addition to other issues that have gotten worse as I age.

Stephanie asks: I feel like we're not communicating well.

Meghan asks: I'm the adhd partner and I definitely feel like I'm struggling with my partner even believing that it's "real." 🙃 recently dx & medicated, so progression > perfection, but damn man. How to get them to understand?
