I was astounded watching this, the fit to what my marriage looks like is probably 80-85% spot on. It was tremendously full of ideas and strategies and I will certainly want to watch it many times to catch all the detail. I want to do the work to start effectively managing my symptoms. The pain and grief that we both feel is devastating and we both need to start finding more joy. I am 67 and was diagnosed about 5 months ago. While that has been a gift to gain the understanding this is clearly an incredibly difficult road to navigate. I am blessed to have a partner committed to working through this. I am devastated by the impact my symptoms have had on her and this gives me some ideas on real tangible things we can do to get to where we want to be. Thank you thank you thank you!

Truly the most eye opening presentation I have ever encountered. In 40 minutes Melissa Orlov showed me how my life turned out the way it did. I literally thought I was the only one who experienced their marriage in this way. But since there is a whole webinar about it I must be just one of the average ADHDers who found themselves again in this dynamic. I am so so grateful for the insight and thank you Melissa from the bottom of my heart.
