Thank you for this insightful, transparent, and beautifully written article! I'm in a similar situation with a 16-year-old daughter as a 52-year-old mom. We both have ADHD and struggle to connect on most days. The overwhelm we both experience causes us to argue or isolate, and the disheartening feeling of failure is almost always in the back of my mind (if not in the front). Thanks for promoting conversation around this situation, bringing encouragement, and listing strategies to remember or try. Hang in there!
