missingu Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 My partner who I have been with for over 4 years, has adhd. Our life together is great and our families get on with each of us normally. We got to go on a family vacation and while we were away all my family did was complain about him. For people who dont understand the condition they have no idea what it is and how it affects life I felt they have been really harsh. He was hyper with excitement of being on holiday and they just don't get it. He has been respectful, but all they do is complain about how annoying he is. It makes me really sad to the point I cried. I feel like they gang up on him and they just don't get him like they thought they did. I was really excited to go on holiday altogether but I feel like it's been somewhat a disaster. I've still enjoyed myself but it could've been better. What should I do about this?
Mr. Lucky Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Not sure how old you are but it might be time to build a more separate life. I vacation with family members once or twice a decade, the rest of the time it’s with wife and/or kids. Given the circumstances, you may want to lessen interactions with your family... Mr. Lucky
d0nnivain Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Get them some literature about adhd so they have better insight. See if that makes them more accepting.
Author missingu Posted August 19, 2018 Author Posted August 19, 2018 I find that when it's just us 2 he is silly sometimes but when we are in a group he gets overexcited and acts out. Is this common with adhd?
