The relationship isn't working.
(and ADHD gets all the blame)
I know ADHDers who blame themselves for struggle.
Because they have ADHD.
Must be their fault, right?
Wrong.
Here's the pre-breakup audit that changes the angle:
➡️ The ADHD Check:
• Do other relationships work fine?
• Are you thriving elsewhere in life?
• Did these "flaws" exist before them?
➡️ The Compatibility Check:
• Do they accept your coping strategies?
• Are your needs "too much" for them?
• Do they research ADHD themselves?
➡️ The Accountability Check:
• Where's their growth edge?
• What patterns existed before you?
• Which issues would exist without ADHD?
➡️ The Energy Check:
• Who initiates repair after conflicts?
• Who does the emotional labor?
• Who's always adjusting?
ADHD explains differences.
Not every failed connection.
