Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-09 00:00:00 Aldo Allen This is the first book I have read on the subject of ADHD where the partner is not the coach, mentor, or helper for the person with ADHD. Melissa clears up so many grey areas for people who are married to someone with ADHD. Halfway through the book I found myself crying because I realized I wasn't alone in my struggle to have a healthy relationship despite the effects of ADHD on our marriage. Sorting out what is ADHD and what is the person was the first step towards success. After reading the book, I felt free to be me and live my life and not live to help my husband with his ADHD. Balancing self care with spousal support is important. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is married to someone with ADD or ADHD. Your spouse probably won't read it due to attention issues, but you will suddenly realize you are not alone and that others feel the same way. Knowing your experience is unique but the struggle isn't is one of the best feelings in the world.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-07 00:00:00 Michelle C Mcivor Interesting stories of various couples. Very depressing book, though. Sounded exactly like every ADHD marriage I know. The author's intent was supposedly to show how great ADHD marriages can become if all parties do their part, but those examples didn't really come through with anywhere near the power and punch of the frustration and despair from the couples wrestling with the problem.
