Living With Add When You're Not the One Who Has It: A Workbook For Partners

By Ron Zeil and Ron Ziel

This workbook is different from other books about attention deficit disorder, because it was written from the perspective of a non-ADD partner. These pages don't focus on taking care of your ADD spouse or making your relationship work. They are about taking care of yourself. Consequently, as you become healthier and happier, your partner may reap the benefits and your relationship could get better. The main message of this book is that sometimes it's okay and even imperative to put yourself first. (Or at least second, if you have kids!) Living with and loving a partner with ADD can be tough at times, and you deserve special care and support. This book is for you. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

The book my husband didn't want to read...

At first my husband didn't want to read this book because he thought I was going overboard with buying books about my ADD. Then he saw the picture on the front cover and he said "Nevermind, I'll read it." This book has helped him understand what is going on my mind and why I do the things I do and that it's not something I can just snap my fingers and change. I would recommend this book, especially to other women with ADD...

FINALLY a book made for me!

Reading this sweet little book felt like talking to a friend. The fact is, I'm the one who has to do and remember everything at home and I work full time. I can't depend on my husband for anything. This book made me feel like I'm not alone. It gave me great tips about how to tell my husband what is bothering me and reminded me that I matter too.

The best book I've read on having a relationship with an ADD partner

This is an easy to read book with real life situations that anyone who is in a relationship with an ADD partner can relate to. It makes you stop and think of yourself for once, which is not easy when your life is in chaos. I now know that I need to think of myself first and that my thoughts and opinions are justified, and I have every right to voice them to my partner.

This is a much needed resource!

As an ADD Coach and somebody who is very active in the online ADD Community I am aware that partners and spouses of people with ADD need support. Resources that are specfically for Partners of People with Attention Deficit Disorder are far and few between. This book is one of a kind and offers much needed tips and strategies for partners of people with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Great Resource

This book really helped me. The person who wrote it really understands what it's like to be married to someone with ADHD. It's very easy to read and offers lots of good advice. I highly recommend it to people with ADHD husbands and wives.
