I occasionally wonder how my life would be different if my mother had the resources & wisdom available that we do now. I'm 100% sure she meant well, but damn she left me with a lot of damage.
Props to you for doing the work!

My understanding is that ADHD is highly heritable, so if you have it, likely she does, too.
And of course, with "command resistance"(?) layered on top, being told to do/not do something just makes it even harder.
I'm β’stillβ’ recovering from the trip my mother laid on me about that, 40+ years later. Maybe Dani's image above will provide an entry point for a more productive conversation!

Right? Like effing daily. Hourly.
We've heard of the modern Prometheus?
This is the modern Sisyphus, except that the rock never reaches the top, & is forever rolling downhill....
Dani Donovan has brilliantly illustrated executive dysfunction you describe. (As it happens, this describes...most of my waking life, actually.)
Subsequent links I've tried seem to work okay. Maybe just something odd about that one post?
@simonv @Kwakigra @LadyButterfly
Certainly is for me. I'm doing it right now π
I've heard stories of people who need or want to do a thing & just...get up & go do it...?
