Beyond Resentment!! Thriving as a Neurotypical Partner in an ADHD Relationship Learn The "I Feel... When... Because... And I Need...Strategy!!

Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades.Each week, I help parents, partners, and professionals navigate the messy, emotional, and beautiful reality of raising kids, managing mental health, and protecting peace inside families that don’t always play fair or it doesn't feel fair. 

Today, we're building on our previous discussions, particularly our deep dive into the quiet, corrosive force of resentmen tin ADHD partnerships. Last time, we explored its origins, distinguishing ADHD symptoms from perceived slights. But as many of you shared, simply understanding isn't enough when you're still drowning in the day-to-day realities.

If you're the non-ADHD partner constantly feeling like you're carrying the weight of two, if you're battling the "invisible load"  the relentless mental labor of remembering, planning, and anticipating and finding yourself exhausted, frustrated, and silently fuming, this episode is your lifeline.

We're moving beyond just identifying resentment. Today, our mission is to empower you, the neurotypical partner, with a comprehensive toolkit of proactive, psychologically-informed strategies to not just cope, but to thrive and survive in your ADHD-impacted relationship. This isn't about fixing your partner; it's about equipping you with the tools to build a more peaceful, equitable, and resilient partnership, all while protecting your own well-being.

Let's transform that silent sigh into a powerful, intentional shift. Let’s dive deep.

The more we learn to recognize the signs behind the behaviors, the more compassion and support we can offer to our kids, our partners, and ourselves.
