Re: Transition Trouble: Non-ADD partners

In reply to Transition Trouble: Non-ADD partners, posted by Julie on January 8, 2000, at 9:57:20

Hey Julie, I have the same problem. I'm a stay-at-home mom and when my husband gets home, my thing is that not only do I not want to deal with him, I don't even want him to touch me. I've learned to stifle my feelings and put on a 5 or 10 minute "how was your day dear?"(hug, kiss)type of show. What helps is that years ago, I made a policy that he must *always* call and let me know he is on the way home from work. This gives me about 20 minutes to "reset" myself. Even with this though there are times when bitchiness happens. Fortuneatly, I've always communicated exactly what my problems are and explained to him exactly why he should not take any of it personally. He has adapted very well. Who else do you know whose partner knows, better then she does when PMS will hit?(by the position of the moon in relation to her cycle, no less?). Anyway, as time passes, there will always be new problems (mental health or not) cropping up and the only way to get thru (even unsolveable ones) is communication, communication, communication, and as much empathy as you can muster. Hope some of this helps.CarolAnn
