Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD

My wife had promised to seek ADHD treatment over the summer now that we no longer have weekly meetings with our son's school counselor.  Nothing happened even though I sent her lists of in-network providers.  Then her therapist said he did not believe he was able to help her and said they should take a break.  She still did not schedule an appointment with one of the ADHD specialists I had sent her.  Then she rolled the windows up in the car without telling me, painfully trapping my hand.  She did not open it when I yelled "OW! OW! OW! My hand is trapped in the window!" several times.  She finally lowered the window when I specifically yelled "Lower the window!"  We had a big fight after that and I told her she needed to find someone to help her with ADHD.

I sent her a shorter list of ADHD therapists and she has finally made an appointment with one of them.

I can't even imagine your frustration and literal physical pain. I got angry reading about her rolling up the window on your hand!! My god. I'd be infuriated. I am sorry you have had to go through this, and probably for a very long time. I wish you and her luck in the treatment process. Take good care of yourself in the meantime, I feel for you.
