I was just diagnosed last year at 54. This helps me see that the turmoil in my past likely had more to do with my brain and ADHD than me as a person. Maybe I’m not a horrible person after all.
You are NOT a horrible person. We just function differently and if we are late diagnosed, we don't understand why we do what we do and so we have a very hard time communicating our needs because we don't even know what they are!

I was diagnosed at 39 and my husband sighed and said ‘It’s just another one of your ‘things’’. (I also have a chronic illness). I broke up with him.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
