About this deal

for my marriage this is a great book because hearing from both Rox and Rich, my husband has realized some things I do really aren't my fault always, what I do isn't personal and against him. I thought that since I was medicated that it fixed ALL my ADHD symptoms and that whatever it didn’t fix was just because I was a lazy human or careless. If you're unpartnered, it might not be as helpful, but will still give you language and validation, which is good too, obviously, but I would guess than the super nonjudgemental partner thing (which, let's face it, isn't all that common) might make you feel a little lonely. I really liked the fact that you get the perspective of the person with adhd and also the person who lives with them.

I’m lucky to have a rich tapestry of friends (and I can’t wait to celebrate my half century with lots of them next year) – and I’ve collected them over my 5 decades from lots of different places! There is ONE chapter in the book where Rich says being with Rox taught him to sometimes enjoy spending money and indulge in little things.A book full of different couple’s Split View with coping mechanisms laid out could have been interesting, but again, the SAME example used by both persons just gets boring. Pink and Emery reinforce the point that acceptance doesn't equal "no accountability" but rather realistic, practical strategizing. It’s really opened my eyes to parts of my life that I thought where just me being useless but apparently I’m not, it’s part of my adhd. Bo ogólnej wiedzy psychologicznej na ten temat nie było prawie w ogóle, co trochę sprawia że książka przestaje być profesjonalna i wiarygodna (nie mówię że są tu nieprawidłowe informacje!

And although that is cool to see, would have loved to see more vulnerability on Rich's side and maybe more ways in which being in this relationship improved HIS life and what Rox is teaching him.There's such a thing as personal responsibility, and I feel like there's a fair chunk of this advice that absolutely is not that. I've struggled along without understanding what things I did were ADHD, or my now 10+ years of PTSD. Like Roxanne, living up until now with undiagnosed ADHD, created a lot of inner turmoil and self-doubt.
