My husband has ADD. He has taken medication for at least a few years (hard to remember; he also has taken antidepressants for years). After much prodding from me, prompted by him getting fired a few years ago because of an accident caused by his inattentiveness and then not looking for a job in the succeeding time, he has gone to an ADD therapist. Hurray. But now, I see signs of some of the ADD and personality traits springing up as barriers again. ADD tends to keep people from doing unpleasant tasks and so how does someone with ADD get started on the behavioral changes? Any tips for how I can be supportive without continuing to be this guy’s mom?
